In a typical 8 hour day most home health nurses I know use that time very differently and not always in a strict 8-5 linear fashion, nor seeing patients starting first thing in the morning...........I am curious how people set up their days to work for them.
Here's some examples of people I know..
1. Starts seeing patients at 7-8am, done by 1-2pm to pick up kids at school, charts at night after kids go to bed
2. Husband works swing shift, doesn't see patients until starting around noon until 5, then charts in evening while he is at work
3. Charts in the morning after seeing patient, sees patients one after another with no charting until early afternoon.
4. Goes to gym and a class at the local college in the afternoon, sees patients in morning, charts at night.
So, how do you use your flexibility to your advantage, for your circumstantces?
