Hi everybody! I need your advise. I'm 29 male, married. have been RN for 4 years now. I worked in ortho surgical unit for a year, then on medsurg for another year. Burned out and decided to try long term. I worked basically alone on a 30 bed unit with 4 CNA that always minded their business and knew what to do. I liked it but the second year the company decided to sell the facility, and cut every possible expense including nursing salary, overtime and bonuses. I went back to hospitals and worked PRN for 6 months. That hospital was a disorganized mess. I couldn't handle 2 jobs. A couple months later finally decided to go full time to another smaller hospital that paid better. Now I'm working full time in this hospital and prn in my nursing home and I feel like I once again made the wrong decision. My thing is that I although not antisocial I hate working with many people. I am motivated and hard working, quite reliable and love working with all types of patients, and patients love me(especially older ladies:D) I am now considering home health because it is independent job and I wouldn't have to deal face to face with supervisors, doctors, charge etc. If anybody has experience in home health I d appreciate some info.
