Anyone do Travel/Home Health?


I was looking into doing some travel or temporary work since I have been unable to find a job in my area as a new grad. I'm actually signing up with a company in December to do home health assessments for medicare, but was looking into other "visiting NP" type of temporary jobs. Was wondering if any of you have done this, if it is lucrative enough (most jobs have you as a 1099 contractor), if there were certain companies to work for that were better than others, how many visits you can really get done in a day, ,etc.

Also if anyone is interested in the details of the job I'm starting in Dec PM me and I'd be happy to tell you about it should you be located in FL, maybe we could even share resources or something. The market is hard here for new grads...

One of the hospitals where I live uses MDs for hospice home visits and have heard they might be utilizing APNs for home visits. Unsure of the billing though.
