Hi everyone, Im an RN, Ive been with a home health agency for about 5 months now. This is my first patient care job after applying for positions (all kinds) for years! I am enjoying the the learning process and enjoy most of my patients. There's one component that surprises me. Im working 7 days a week since I started. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have a chance at practicing nursing but, I cant seem to have a life with my family, my agency keeps giving more patients and opening SOC, ROC and recert and SN. Whenever I ask where are the other nurses, they say they are short staffed. Also no mileage paid for visits, Is this the norm in HH. Thank you
