(a few months later)... My hours did get cut... for awhile. But the Director finally listened, and I now work 28 hours a week. Could still use more hours, but we're heading in the right direction.

I am the sole nurse for an agency that provides supported living (6 homes) and dayhab as well. I love the work! We have 24 clients and I work 25 hours/week. DSP give the meds. The agency's Executive Director wants me to cut back to 20 hours a week. I feel overwhelmed already and can't see how I'm going to keep up or meet the state and agency's expectations. (I've already discussed this with her and she won't budge). So I'm curious about what your agency's nurse to client ratio might be, and whether you're full-time or part-time. Is it just me or is this unrealistic?
