Thank you so much. It really gives me hope. This website has helped me so much and everyone is so caring and uplifting! I am going to get the background check tomorrow and I was up front witht the hiring lady and she was super understanding. If all goes well I will be switching PRN with the hospital and going full time days with this home health agency! Fingers crossed I get this job! **praying***

I am thinking about taking another job with home health. I am currently full time nights at my hospital. It is not working for me and need to go per diem. Any suggestions on how to tell my director? Should I send her an email because I never see her and we work the complete opposite schedule? I have to do something because this shift is not working for me. Thanks you guys!

I was wondering if another facility would hire me or not after finding that I have a reckless driving charge & DUI from YEARS ago when I was young and dumb...It follows me like a dark could even though I don't even drink at all anymore and have completely changed my life FOR THE BETTER. I feel very stuck in my current situation and my current position at a hospital that I work for. I am trapped working 7 pm to 7 am and nothing is available on days so I am not sleeping properly and getting sick constantly. I'm actually having to miss a ton of work due to lack of rest and illness and my director is on my butt about this. But I cannot help that this shift is ruining my life. It is not for everyone and trust me, I am a DAY SHIFT kind of person. I am looking to switch hospitals, however, I am scared another facility will run my history and turn me down. It is just awful and I am slipping into major depression with my job and life. I am miserable. I break down and cry all of the time. I am desperate to get on somewhere else. Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice for me? And please guys do not judge me about my back ground...I am not that person any more and trust me I am already feeling depressed about it. Please dont kick me while I am down. Thanks in advance

Exactly. Like I'll be rushing around with my 12 patient's and have nurses demand me to do tiny tasks...meanwhile they sit there on their cell phones and gossip with one another while I run around like a chicken with my head cut off. That is NOT teamwork and not acceptable. I just wish I could get some more assistance. I mean I have some nurses who won't even take their patient to the toilet. They refuse. This is not okay either and it directly affects patient care.

Forgive me for this vent session right now but I am literally about to lose it after this horrible 12 hour shift that I just endured. I hate complaining but it WAS AWFUL. The nurses treated me like crap the entire shift. They talk down to me, boss me around, size me up, yell at me when things aren't done right when they demand me to do something. I have double the patients and I know we are all busy but jeez is it really necessary to talk to another human being the way that they talked to me?! Everyone tells me it is like this in a hospital setting and it is just sad. I work so very hard...I leave out of here with my back literally broken and in so much pain from all my lifting and cleaning people over and over. It just never feels like it is good enough. And I am doing all of this for extremely LOW PAY. It's just ridiculous. I've just never been so disrespected as I have switching to the medical floor. I work over night and I'm really wondering if it is even worth it. I get treated like trash. I am highly educated and extremely nice. I just wish I would get treated with a little more respect. Does anyone else have this issue? Things aren't going to change are they? Should I just leave? I've talked to my director...nothing ever changes and the PCT's around here just quit like it isn't nothing. That's why we are so understaffed. Just ridiculous.
