Hiring a Nurse at a LHCSA in NY

[LHCSAowner]

I am the owner of a start-up home care agency on Long Island. Currently, I provide companion care but I am in the process of becoming a LHCSA. In order to become a LHCSA, I need to hire a Director of Nursing to supervise and a few nurses (either salaried or per diem) , to prepare care plans, etc. I was curious if anyone out there can provide some guidance as to things like....

1. How to structure my relationship with my Director of Nursing (full time, part time, etc.)

1. Payment structure (hourly, per diem, per shift)

2. Salary Range (for per diem and salary employees)

3. Any additional advice you could provide to a person with a non-clinical background to keep his clinical people happy

Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Might be better to spent some money on professional help with such questions. Lawsuit can get very expensive. The hospice that hired that fake RN to care for Bobbi Brown will wish they spent more money for due diligence. Good luck
