Next month will mark my one year in Home Health as an Visiting LVN. I have been with the same two agencies from the start. I am dumping one and keeping the other. I just recently got hired by another agency so I'm back up to 2 but I still have interviews rolling in. How many is too many to work for. I'm thinking of picking up a 3rd so I can be sure to get the work load I want.

Thoughts? How many are you with?

Specializes in Rehab, Psych, Acute care, LTC, HH.

Good for you, but tell me how do you manage all that? I was also considering working for two HH agencies and possibly leaving acute care. I haven't started with HH yet but plan to in April.

Just one. They are able to keep me as busy (sometimes busier) than I want to be. I'm happy there too. No reason to work for anyone else. :)

It's pretty easy now that I have gotten rid of the agency with the crazy scheduling issues. Right now I am with 2 agencies. I have 5 patients with one and 4 with the other since I just started. Most of my patients are 2w8 I have 2 that are 3w8 and I have one that 7w1 then the will taper to 2w7 starting next week (which I'm happy about because I'm tired of driving to Long Beach (I live in Orange County) and shes my only pt there. Last week I had 32 visits after I picked up 2 last minute visits because a nurse was on vacation. I was very manageable. I started early (7:30) and was done most days by 1. Which is great since my daughter is in school from 7:50-1:30. So far I really like it. I was just happy to get out of that other place lol
