Bayada?

I can't answer those but I can tell you I applied w/them. I didn't go to the interview (I did cancel) when I realized it was strictly ped patients. What I found interesting was they wanted to hire me even though I have NO experience in peds other than in school. That made me uncomfortable given a lot of these kids are on home vents.

I am currently well into orientation with Bayada and my initial impression is that it will be a very good experience.

1. Patients per day = 6, unless you are doing a SOC which in that case it would be 5 (assuming you are full time).

2 You will probably get reimbursed for mileage. In some instances you might not (perhaps per diem positions).

3. Bayada is currently "rolling out" it's computized charting. Many offices do not have it yet though.

4. At my office schedules are set the Thursday before the next work week (no later than Friday). And confimed daily.

Hope this helps.

Remember Bayada has both Home Health visit offices and in home nursing care for peds and vent patients. They are two separate home health practices. That being said, the "visit" side encourages full time employees to see apx 6 patients/points a day. As with any home health agency, your schedule can change, but you plan out your visits and turn in your schedule the Thursday prior to your work week.

Bayada is a major HH agency that maintains a small company feel. In other words, you feel important, your voice can be heard...etc.

Good luck...hope this helps.

i just started with bayada last month. they are very good about scheduling. i just tell them the days and hours that i am available. i am only on one case right now but you can pick up more cases if you need more hours. they will try to find you a case that will fit your schedule. i work now with one client 2-3 days a week during the evening. they will train you in the trach/vent too and i hear that you get more than plenty hours doing that. charting is done at the clients home on paper. they also do stat pay which is more money but you have to always be on call. but they are very good with pay too, you can decline a case or ask for more money for the case if you feel its too low. if you arent comfortable in a case they dont give you a hard time, they will just look for a new case for you. i hope this helped a little.
