HH wages for MA RN's

cookie102 · Oct 25, 2008

hi have many friends that work for VNA making around $30/hr

Depends on where you go- the non profit companies dont usually pay as well as the for profit.

I know VNA's that start @ 27 per hr

I've seen for profit companies starting pay @ 35 per hr

I've been a HH recruiter in the North Shore area and worked with many compainies. Let me know if I could be of any help.

I work for a northshore VNA and make a little over $30/hr plus mileage. I might make a little more working for one of the unionized hospitals around here but it's worth $1-2 less for me to work sane hours.

I don't live in MA, but live in a rural area. Our agency is small and our case load varies. I see anywhere from 5-9 clients a day. We don't get paid by the hour, but the case, which is $30.00/case, plus $.35/mile. This also pretty much evens out to what I'd make at a facility, maybe a little less. The difference is well made up even with the lack of politics and back biting which is rampant in any facility I've worked at in my many yrs. of nursing. Our benefits aren't top notch either, but again, I figure it evens out for the same reasons. Eventhough I miss the direct contact with c0-workers, I've gotten used to that. I dislike all the paperwork, which is NOT computerized, but instead ALL handwritten. I've been able to tweak some of that and try to finish the bulk of it in the home, which is much better than spending 4-5 hrs. finishing it up at home, which used to be the case. Alot of it, I find is tweaked by trial and error. At any rate, HH nursing to me is a much better fit than facilities (hospitals AND nursing homes). I still wonder what "they" mean when they say that HH is nursings best kept secret. What does that REALLY mean. I've asked it in the forum before, but no ones really come out and told me and I hear that used quite a bit. I really get alot of good advice from this forum and I do appreciate it.
