Annual evaluation

This will be my first annual eval with this company. I work for a home health agency and do PDN. Could anyone tell me what exactly happens? Before this I worked at a nursing home and did get an eval but didn't seem like a big deal, I was given a raise and told everything was good that I didnt have complaints and never called in or was late. This is the first time I work at a pt's home, and I'm on as PT but I work 50 hrs a wk and have two pt's. I guess my questions are what should I expect, is it okay to ask for a raise and if so do you just come out and ask or do you give an amount? I not sure how to go about with this. Thanks for any advise or input.

    Due to limited reimbursement from Medicaid it's extremely uncommon to be offered or granted a raise in private duty nursing. Do not be surprised if denied. Nurses can go 3-5 years in pdn with out ever receiving a raise unless they update their license or credentials. Some agencies can pay a premium for high tech qualified nurses as some state Medicaid programs pay a premium for high tech cases (it happens in my state) but not often.

    You will be able to tell from the tone of the meeting whether or not you should broach the subject of a raise. Do not expect it to happen automatically unless your agency is unionized.

    It never hurts to ask! I never did because I thought it wouldn't happen. Finally after my third year I did, and my clinical mgr laughed! She was sure it wouldn't happen, but she said she'd try for me and put in a good word. I don't know what she said, but I started seeing an extra DOLLAR per hour the following month. Nice surprise there!
