I hear you all. I understand all of you. But I'm a mom who needs 24 hour care at home for her daughter. We've been doing this for 37 years, and each year the availability of nurses gets thinner. Yes, the pay isn't quite Hospital pay but it's a break. It's a supplement if you need a bit of extra money. Please consider picking up one or two shifts a month in home health care. And you'll love your patients.
