Calliecat

If you have the clients address with the zip code you can do an internet search for registered sex offenders in a 5 mile radius for free. The agency I worked for provided nothing for our safety. I carried pepper spray and a small pocket knife in my purse at all times. And I never let my cell phone run down.

Have you considered private duty through a home health agency. You just take care of one patient. It most likely would be a pediatric patient. I never in my life thought I would care for kids but it wasn't that bad. I even went to school with two of my clients. It was actually fun. I know nursing home works is hell, I did it as an LPN. I also worked in two different surgeons office and liked that. I encourage you to pray about. Best of luck to you.
