Hello all, new grad here and a few questions

I have always been more attracted to HH or PHN, I knew before I even started nursing school that I was a never a hospital type person

Although I do plan on eventually working in a hospital for a bit for the experience, it is not where I want to make my career

Anyhow, so today I had my first interview for a program that treats people with eating disorders in both a day treatment facility and home facility ( HOORAY!)

I am really excited about it because it is exactly the type of nursing I want to do -

Unfortunately, It is only on-call at first , but can move to full time with staff turn over

As a new grad, I will be starting at $25/hour, which is pretty good, right? (I'm in Minnesota)

My question is how much could I expect in a few years doing home care? It is not about the money for sure, but my loans combined with my husbands ( who is finishing his Phd) are frightening to say the least...

You are welcome. I think you'll like the change of pace home health brings and I hope you are able to rediscover your love of nursing if you have had a bad experience in the past.
