Default Re: new grad emplyed into hospice
Where do you live and work? I have been a nurse for 42 years and do not make that much $$$$ an hour. The salary sounds good to me but I guess it depends on where you live, especially for a new nurse. I guess you would not have benefits being per diem which may be why the salary is so high. Being a Hospice nurse is more independent than being a hospital nurse so if you do not feel comfortable with it then look for a hospital job until you feel that you can work more on your own. Good luck.
