Home care is primarily days. It may involve an occasional evening visit, if you are on call and have to do a late visit, like an IV infusion or something like that. It all depends on the agency you work for, but home care intermittent visits are primarily days. In the agency where I work, the nurses rotate weekends, and right now they only work every 6-7 weekends and take call one night per week.

Telephonic disease management or case management for insurance companies are other options that would involve weekday hours, depending again, in the company you worked for.

My husband is a truck driver (never can count of his schedule) and we have 2 school age kids. I do MDS's in LTC. Work M-F, hours are generally very flexible.

Thanks for all of your suggestions regarding a day job. I am from a rural area and don't see alot of these jobs posted. I am looking into Home Health. I am interested in alot of the suggestions such as MDS's in LTC, utilization review, risk management, etc. My problem is I don't have any experience with these jobs and don't know how to go about pursuing these avenues. Any suggestions on contacting the right people? Thanks for all of your input.

I also find that PRN positions are good. That way you can schedule your hours according to your husbands.
