Yea, private duty does not pay the best. As a RN, I took close to a 40% pay cut from the hospital. But other non-monetary "pay offs" made it worthwhile for me. A lot of private duty cases can be Medicaid, and there is no mileage reimbursement for those cases. But there is mileage reimbursement for non-medicaid cases. (At least that is how it is in my state. It varies.) Anyways...hope you find something better soon! Shouldn't be too hard....as private duty is on the low end of pay and benefits for nursing jobs!
