home health care RN pay (Chicago)

Published

I am a new graduate and started an orientation at a home health care agency today. It is an agency in Chicago and it pays per appointment. From what I remember they pay $35-$48 per appointment with benefits after 3 months of work. They do not reimburse for miles. Is that good pay?

I think that is terrible pay, unless they are repeat visits. If that is the pay you are getting to do admissions on patients....run away now!!! I get paid hourly, see 5 repeat patients a day, or 3 repeats and 1 admit. Got benefits after working 1 month with the company and only work 1 weekend a month. Overtime is paid for as well. I am blessed! Love my job! My advise to you is to keep looking -- you can do better than that!

P.S. Just reread your post and didn't realize when I wrote the first post that you are a new grad. I highly recommend doing AT LEAST one year at a hospital in med surg. You will be much better prepared to work in the home health setting.
