PepperciniRN

I've been lurking around this HH forum for a while reading everybody's questions and pros and cons of HH. One thing I can't quite get straight is the morning routine.... I am a new grad, and I'm probably looking at some LTC time before anyone will hire me for home health work, but I think I would like to go into it so I'm sort of mentally prepping myself and I'd like to make sure it would be a good fit. My problem is I have a lack of flexibility in the mornings, I really can't leave my house until I get my oldest to school at 8am. Does anyone else work around this issue? Do you go straight to the patient's homes? or do you check in at an agency/office at a certain time each morning? I did go on a ride along when I was in school, but it was mental health and I think it was VERY different from the feeling I am getting on this forum. We covered 8 visits in roughly 2 hours, mainly dishing out meds. Then, as it was told to me, the RN would go home (or library etc...) and do charting or sometimes chart at night after her kids were in bed. Any info/advice from people with children would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much.
