I just kept telling myself that it would get better. I let them know a couple months ago that I needed a vacation and they told me I could move my patients all off of a couple days a week and just do really long days, so I could have a couple more days off a month, but when I do that they take my pto even though I go over productivity. So it is kinda a losing situation for me

I do receive 45 cents a mile. But not from home to first patient or from the last patient home. The closest patient I have is an hour away. I feel the same way, I think I need to leave for my own sanity. I just hate giving up on a job.

So I work for a smaller home health agency in the mid west. I am salaried, and it is decent pay, but the drive times between patients can be 2 hours. So I have a very long day trying to make my productivity points. My day typically starts at 6 am when i drop my baby off at the sitter and start my 1.5 to 2 hour drive to my first patient. I get home about 4pm, take care of the baby, put her to bed at 8 and finish charting by 1130. I am on call for 7 days at a time every other week. I only get 4 days off a month. And those days are normally spent catching up on charting. I have done this for almost 2 years and I am burnt out. I am thinking about going to work (2 )16 hour shifts at the nursing home just so I can get some time off. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you for reading my rant.
