Per diem case load.

Just wondering if it is common at other agencies as an RN to only get SOC visits as a per diem (not hired as just an Oasis nurse). Since I learned SOCs that is all they have been giving me for 3 weeks.

I make so much less money doing JUST SOCs. since I can do them in 3-4 hours that comes out to 19-25$ an hour, usually closer to the middle of that. Regular visits take anywhere from 30mins-1.5 hours and average to closer to 38 dollars an hour. (I get paid per visit). So if I had a mix of regular visits and starts then I would be fine but it is hard to pay my bills at this rate! Wondering if it's worth jumping ship or if it is like this everywhere. I've mentioned it to my supervisors and they give me "I understand what you mean" and then continue to assign just Starts, and when I said I would need only 1 start and some regular visits next time I worked, they said that would be difficult.
