Thinking about making the switch to home health...

[RN_Mommy_2_3]

I've been a nurse in med-surg for nearly 3 years now. I work 12hr night shifts 3 days a week at a small hospital. I recently just had my 3rd child and I'm thinking I need a little more structure at home. I'm looking for an 8-5 job, a job that allows me to do hw with my children and have dinner with my children and put them to bed. A job that will allow some flexibility to squeeze in a school activity in between pts. I love m/s but I'm sad that it doesn't give me the family structure that my children need at this crucial time in their life. Am I being unrealistic thinking that a Case Manager position in home healthcare will give me what I'm looking for?

How does the on-call, weekends and holidays work in your experience? I too am thinking of going into HH.
