I work home health and being new to home health I still don't understand a couple things...
#1- I was told for patients needing 7 day a week visits I MUST see them 7 days a week or lose the case. Is this right? I can't work 7 days a week for possibly months without going crazy and...
#2- How do home health nurses make any money? Lets say I get $50/hr. I see the pt one day a week for one hour. It takes me 7 days of work to get one day of pay. I really hate that I have to give up my weekends and any life I may have because I will always be working.
Help! I need to know if I should tell my boss to "stick it"! Normally this would not be thought twice about, but since I am a new grad (graduated last year), that can't find a job along with all the other thousands of new grads, I am soooooo desperate for work it makes me consider doing anything for nursing work.
