Georgia Hospice

Published

Hi there, Im a hospice nurse here in Florida and love it! I am relocating to the west side of Atlanta (Douglasville, Powder Springs, Hiram, Dallas) in the next 5 months and wondered, since there are too many, which hospices have:

1) Fair RN compensation (I currently make 25.55 per hour/40hrs .44 per mile and 28 days PTO per year)

2) Decent cost of health insurance (for myself and children-united health care 220 per month)

3) Has a decent pediatric program (if possible) Im currently a pedi-case manager, but have done adult hospice too and the oh so fun admissions :rolleyes:

4) Good reputation of treating its employees like they are worth something!

5) Bonuses?????? Hey christmas ones are awesome. Gotta ask.

AM I ASKING TOO MUCH??? LOL I WILL TAKE 1 AND 2 IF I CAN AQUIRE A POSTITION.

Hope I'm not being too nosy-but how long have you worked at current job to make $25/hr? Now I feel underpaid, and I live here in Florida also.

I have 30 years nursing experience in varied fields, and 8 of it in Hospice with a CHPN. I currently make almost 29 and some cents in Georgia. Do you think, and I know you can't really say, but do you think your company would meet that salary as Case Manager? that would be a comparable job to mine.

thanks

I do really think so. The cost of living is rapidly changing down here though. An average style home costs 200k rents for a 3/2 range 900-1400 depending on what area you live in. This is the reason Im looking to relocate, its getting expensive.
