So I went for an interview for a hospice agency. They have a eight bed hospice inpatient unit and they also have home hospice. So it is a new position that they have available. The position would be working Monday through Friday from midnight till nine a.m as the second nurse at a hospice house who will also be on call. So that means if there's an emergency at night or somebody died I'll have to leave the Hospice House and go to their house. I've never done home care or hospice I've always done critical care. Does this position sound like a reasonable position? Any opinions?

I had a simular thing happen to me... I fought it and went to the DON and to the union. I got to keep my job and she "left" after being employed there for many years. All I know is where she is working I will never go... It is hard now working with my co-workers knowing that some of them don't like me and complained about me. I do what I have to and don't talk to anyone and then go home. There are a few that I trust and I make sure I work the days they are on in case I need help.

I don't think so but check on your state unemplyment web site

ok here is my problem... i am working in a nursing home where i hate it... every day i just can't stand the idea of going to work. most of my coworkers are ok.. the environment is just stressful and i always feel like my licenses in hanging by a thread. but it has good benefits. excellent medical, lots of pto and sick time. i have been working there for a little over a year. well i started working prn for a home health agency that does shift work for vent pts. i love it so far. i am relaxed, no stress. love the 12hr shifts... but the insurance sucks, no sick or pto. i am young still and am not on meds or sick but i want to have a baby so i do need some insurance for that and my husband... any advice anyone i would appreciate it. should i suck it up and deal with the nursing home or go for the home health full time?
