   I get what your saying but isn't DPH going to wonder why we changed the visit dates? And why would she would visit the patient on an off day? Call me selfish but I don't want to have to stand in front of DPH auditors going "um...well...the nurse said...

    I have nurses that do up to 20 per day. 10 AM and 10 PM usually. 2 SOCs in one day is ridiculous for a CM. D/Cs and transfers are simple though, at least in my company. I can complete one in 5 minutes.
