From a caregiver's perspective, I like knowing that, if I should need to make a call (so far, in five months, I've needed to contact the on call RN twice) the nurse will be relatively fresh.Gail Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429291136763615708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816413964252528093.post-91883880132690715432008-09-20T12:22:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:22:00.000-07:00@ brandy...

So your hospital experience will be to your advantage.<BR/><BR/>My shift actually encompasses a 16 hour block of time. 5PM to 8AM. However, many is the time that I've come home after 10 in the morning. My job requires that I am able to find plenty of opportunity to catch up on sleep so I'm refreshed for the next night. I would not really recommend this job for anyone with small children that may need your attention or interrupt your precious rest during the daytime. <BR/><BR/>I really can't give you an idea about how many visits I make per night. Every night is a "crap shoot".dethmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490177974122552051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816413964252528093.post-38052256518122406422008-09-19T13:21:00.000-07:002008-09-19T13:21:00.000-07:00Hello - I came across your blog looking for an aft...Hello - I came across your blog looking for an after hours hospice nurse job. I enjoyed reading a little more about what you do. I only have hospital experience & I am wondering if you can tell me what my chances of landing an on call hospice nurse job would be? Also, I am wondering if you can tell me about how many people you end up visiting during a given 8 hour shift? Any more information and insight you can provide would help me out so much, thank you!Steve and Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04136370207710869515noreply@blogger.com
