That is a heavy load. Add in the drive time. I don't see how you could work less than eight hours. Do you have home health experience? The charting is time consuming. Also need to consider that.

As others have posted, that is a heavy load and there is no way, especially if you are new to HH you will finish everything in 8 hrs.

Well if visits are all a max of 20 min apart I don't see why not? It's pediatrics so the charting is much less there's no oasis it's vitals and a nurses note and calling in a weight to doc if needed. I am new to home health but based on the visits I shadowed it seemed possible but I've never done it so!

"Well if visits are all a max of 20 min apart" That's a big if. My first home visit was 70 minutes from home. Of course, first trip from home the nurse is not even paid the lousy mileage. OP.. change your user name.
