2. Agency LTC or Staff LTC

   grateful2010 replied to grateful2010's topic in Geriatric

   Thank you! In choosing a nursing home is it better to work for a large Nursing home or a small one? Since I have no experience working in a Nursing Home I really don't want a large patient load. (About 20 is good for me, No higher than that).

   grateful2010 replied to HappyGo1's topic in Home Health

   $20 for an RN is on the low side. Homecare RN's should get paid about $25-$28 an hour. Your agency is probably getting paid $50 an hour to have you there and since it's a buisness you're getting what they feel is appropriate for you. At this point th...
