4. Salary???

   asopko replied to RNratched's topic in Home Health

   As far as salary goes, you should take into account that some of these companies are being reimbursed by government programs. Most of the time, they aren't even being paid what some nurses get working in hopsitals ($35-$45/hr). You're also working on...
