New LVN, HH just hired me, salary ?


Hi everyone!! I am a new LVN in Ft. Worth and just got hired with a HH agency. I will be paid 17.00 per hr (not per visit pay) with about 6 pts a day. Job is 40hrs/ week, 40cents per mile (not traveling to 1st pt, or leaving last pt.) I don't have to work 40 hrs as long as I see all my pts, but if I want to get my 40 hrs, I can come into the office to finish up my paperwork, etc. It is pretty flexible. I can arrange my pt's to mine and thier schedule, the HH co. doesnt care as long as I am not working past 6pm or so. I have weekinds off, 1 week a month on-call. My area is close to my home so I won't be driving too incredibly far. Is this fair pay for this job and me having no prior exp.? I am just curious because I was expecting a little more per hr. Maybe because I was thinking of per visit pay.

Default Re: New LVN, HH just hired me, salary ?
Full-time home health LVNs are usually paid less than those who are part-time and paid per visit. I applied to a home health agency in Fort Worth nearly 1 year ago. They offered me a full-time salary of $33,000 yearly with full benefits, or $35,000 per year without benefits. $33,000 yearly breaks down to about $16 to $17 per hour at 40 hours a week.

They also offered me a part-time job that paid $25 per visit. As you can see, the full-time salary was significantly less than the part-time pay rate. I ended up rejecting the full-time offer, because I really prefer to earn more than $35,000 per year for all that I must endure.
