   When I worked Home Health I had a range from 1-7 visits a day. I was paid hourly and mileage of course. It wasn't that bad I just hated the driving. It once took me 2 hours to get home because I was stuck in traffic. It just wasn't for me but each nu...

   HeyNurse09 replied to proud nurse's topic in Relations

   Sometimes I was told if I was to orientate someone and other times I came in, looked at the schedule, and bam I see a new name with an "o" next to it! I don't mind though because I was once in that position and I know what it feels like when someone ...
