I have been working at the same company for close to a year now. I have received a good evaluation. I have done my documentation in a timely and correct manner and most of my patients are quite fond of me. I enjoy the people I work with and I adore my patients.

The problem that I have encountered time and time again is that I am not getting enough work. In home health you get paid per case if you are a contract worker; such as I am. It is not an hourly pay or salaried position, so if you don’t have a lot of cases you don’t make much money.

I have made good money at this company but not enough to attain my financial goals. I became frustrated with the situation and signed on with another company. I started working part time for the other company and still kept on with my primary company.It was a bit difficult to work for two companies but I didn’t want to leave my patients at the first company, so I continued to work for two.

I constantly prayed about this and wondered why God was not answering my prayers. With my free time I continued to work on the novel which God has inspired me to write. I also asked God what I was supposed to learn at this company.

My primary company has a QA nurse that is amazing. She is the most diligent and ruthless QA nurse I have ever encountered and I appreciate her more than words can say. She has taught me how to document better than any nursing professor and as a result of her diligence I have become better at documentation.

I have learned that I must go where God leads. There is a time and place for me to work and my time with my primary company has now come to an end. I gave them an opportunity to hire me full time and wrote up a wage agreement for them. I gave the wage agreement to both companies and the second one agreed to pay me the wage. So I have decided to go with the company who is successful enough to help me achieve my financial goals.

The other aspect about the second company that I like is that the owner is a business woman. She understands how to run a business and informs her nurses how to frame an admit for better reimbursement. That makes such a difference in the scheme of things because if nurses do not understand the profit angle of a business the business will fail. The other thing I like about this owner is that she is open to my feedback in fact she has requested that I come in and talk with her on a frequent basis.

This is something which has been a very hard decision for me to make. I would appreciate if those of you who feel led to pray for me intercede for me in prayer regarding this.
