Considering PDN

I'm an RN who has been doing Hospice and Home Health since 2011. All that time in the car has me recovering from a frozen hip, so looking to cut down on the driving. I do not have peds experience. Any advice, recommendations, suggestions? What is the charting like? Is it mostly private pay? Medicaid? VA? Pay? Can I stay busy? Is it mostly long term patients? TIA

    Hi I do PDN but for adult patients. Most patients are long term clients. I had two for over ten years. Some are temporary like post hospital. They can be private pay. Most of my patients are paid by a Medicaid waiver program. They get X amount of nursing hours a day and family takes care of them the rest. 
     

    I am pretty busy even on the night shift. Patients have tube feeds, medications, baths, treatments etc. Day shift has a lot of Dr appts. 
     

    Charting is on a program on our phone now. I chart as I go. The MAR is on there too. No more paper. We clock out at the exact time and charting mut be done before we can sign out. 
     

    Hope this helps
