Thank you all for responding to my thread. I have more of an open view upon this matter & shall take all of your advise into consideration. For now, yes I believe keeping my 2 jobs, lab & home health, is safe within my territory of comfort. We'll see where the home health I currently work for now will take me down the road. I originally thought I should keep the jobs that I have now instead of weaning towards to 2 home health jobs, but kept questioning myself whether it is the best decision to pursue forward with. And so, my gut instinct was indeed correct. Thank you all once again for your opinions.

Hello all, I am currently an LVN. I am working for one home health agency with a f/t position in the evenings. However, I've heard from some nurses that at times one can go w/o work for weeks, possibly months. I've also heard from other nurses that their agencies have provided them with continuous amounts of patients, leaving them w/ work everyday. I know many nurses whom also work for more than 2 home health agencies as well. I am currently working in a laboratory (stable & f/t in the am with health care benefits) , but it is outside my job criteria as far as being an LVN. I am also not getting paid enough as if I were to work as an LVN. I want to work P/T or F/T in the mornings possibly for another home health agency. Should I risk working for another home health agency or do you all think it is safer to be where I am at now... Please advise. Thank you all for your time & opinions. God Bless!
