   Well, I would still be a nurse! I had probably 10 different jobs before I went to nursing school, I started out as an LPN and then got a hospital sponsored scholarship for AD RN. Personally, I love people and I love nursing. I suppose if my situation...

   YogaloverRN replied to Rachelks's topic in Home Health

   Well, I am still hanging in there, keep looking and no home health agencies to work at unless going to Atlanta metro area and frankly, that's not a commute I can make and then continue driving. I have to say that the paperwork is becoming easier as I...

15. So overwhelmed..any advice?

    YogaloverRN replied to Rachelks's topic in Home Health

    I agree, shift work is much better, but they didn't even offer me the choice. And down south, the home health care agencies are few, and with small towns, the DOO all seem to know each other here too. I am really beginning to dislike working as a nur...
