how many hours do you work?

I have two full time jobs. The first depends on the day, like today I only have two patients to see in there homes but this coming Friday I have 8 patients to see. I am normally in each persons house minimum of 25 min and max of 1.5 hour. I have an area of 35 miles so most everyone is within that distance. If I start early say 830 am. I normally get back to the house around 130 pm then I spend another 2 hours charting on everyone. But on days like today I may go to the movies before I come home.

My second job as weekend supervisor starts 5 pm on Friday and goes through 8 am Monday. Now for most part I am home but I have the phones after I make calls to all the hospitals and rehabs we have patients. Then I answer any calls day or night that come in, patient have problems, questions or concerns. I supervise 3 great ladies and yes sometime if its super busy I will go out and even see a patient, but that's not normal. I monitor a system called Home Health Monitor where our heart patients weigh in before 10 am daily. I receive labs that nurses have drawn and call appropriate MD. I receive online fax from hospitals or rehabs on new referrals to see if they are appropriate for us to take. Then if they are home I send one of the nurses out the next day to do admission. All during the weekend I write report, which normally is about 23 pages long. Some of this includes the reports the nurses send me and other is what happened, who I talked to and what about, I also chart in the patients chart about the same thing.
