2. Work for multiple companies?

   ap05 replied to ap05's topic in Home Health

7. I need advice. I work PRN for a Home Health Company who has not been able to make payroll on time twice now. What should I do?

   ap05 replied to guest825264's topic in Home Health

   I bet we work for the same company. I personally have multiple jobs so I'm not hurting but this is totally ridiculous to me. I'm silently looking for a different part time/prn job. I like what I do...
