Hi,

I am considering home health or hospice nursing. I have been working LTC for 6 months and feel like the stress is just too much to handle some times. The stress is starting to drain my soul. Before every shift I get anxiety about the thought of how many patients I have to look after. I never thought nursing would be this stressful and draining. Is hospice LVN work less stressful and more fulfilling? Are you always on call as a hospice LVN? Anyone know if home health is steady and reliable, less stressful as well?
