HELP!!! Going on an interview for HH

My advice would be to look for another company. I don't know how it is in Ca, but in Texas, they do not have a good reputation.

Also, might want to go to www.indeed.com and read what other's have said about them. Looks like it's a company problem, not just with one location.

Feel free to PM me if you want more specifics. Do the research. HH is great! I just don't recommend Maxim.

I would also like some advice about Maxim. I am from Ohio. I am looking into Pediatric HH. Thanks!

I'm an RN & worked for maxim last year(private duty). I provided all care my pt during my 8hr shift. Just like in hospital, 1st thing is assess, document at least q 2hrs, give meds, feed, & keep pt clean. My pt was on vent so I was RT also. If pt has Dr appt, you go with the pt (I had peds so parent had to go with me to sign consents). I also started IV, & did Central Line dressing changes. At end of shift, the pt (parent in my case) signs nurses notes & you turn that in to Maxim. If pt becomes unstable you call their Doc & Maxim.

The "interview" I got included a test & orientation. I was given a test after I met the recruiter, offered the job then watch several videos about Maxim, HIPPA & etc . Don't worry about the test, I failed it the 1st time, then was given the test again (of course I passed). That "interview" lasted 4 hrs long.

Hope this helps.

Chelitta, be cautious, I am currently an RN new grad since April. I have worked for Maxim in Florida for 9 years doing peds home care. The work is awsome, the pay stinks. I have found not to expect much from the company itself, but learn from your experiences in your cases. The reason I and so many of my coworkers have stayed wasnt for the great company, but for the kids and families. It is very rewarding. If you are looking for a great company, decent benefits or pay, look somwhere else. Just my opinion but seems a few share it with me.

Oh btw, forgot to mention that i was an LPN for 18 years ( maxim for 9 of those!)

Thank you so much for the input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, how did the interview go? the tests? what were they like------I live in ohio am seriously considering home care peds.......any info would help

I worked for Maxim. I would seriously consider working somewhere else. They don't have good rep in Phoenix area either.

I did go to this interview. There were many tests, but it wasn't too bad. The ones that I missed they allowed me to re-take later. I have a prn position there, but I have not worked there much lately because I have been busy with my regular position. Maxim must have a bad reputation in other areas but I just work when I want to and I dont work when I dont want to.

hi! got your PM but i dont know how to send you a reply there. anyway, I dont have any idea in San Diego but i tell you the pay they give me here in bay area (northern CA) is less than 25/hr. the cost of living here is high compared in your place. so if you have plans of moving here somewhere in CA you must now how much you'll get paid so that you can plan ahead It differs in every city. Good luck! =)
