Nurse_67

I am a LPN that will be starting a new job in home health doing visits. I have experience doing home health shift work (12 hour shifts) with both hospice and pediatrics. The company I will be working for pays by the hour. I will go to the office in the morning, clock in, pick up a company car, do my visits then clock out at the end of the day. I was told they want me to "work up" to doing 6 patients a day. I'm a bit nervous as this is a relatively new company that is expanding. They have one full time RN, one prn RN and one other LPN. After I was offered the job and accepted, the DON kept saying how happy the RN was going to be to have help because she was never able to get all her paperwork done. I have been reading the HH forums on here and it seems like the paperwork is much more involved than when I was doing HH shift work. The company uses EMR and I was told it is a "really easy system" to learn. I am wondering what is the best way for me to get/stay organized, how to plan my day to best use my time and any other tips you can offer someone new to doing visits? I love working one on one with clients in their home and having flexibility. I'm just nervous about getting myself organized and into a good routine so as not to be wasting time/energy unnecessarily.
