Any new grads (LVN) in the Dallas area start out in HH? so, uh, how's the pay? and the training? I know there are many variables to the equation, just looking for ballpark info. thanks!

Going into HH as a new grad, LVN or RN, is a big mistake. You have to excellent assessment skills with experience to know when something just isn't quite right - even when everything looks fine. HH nurses are on their own, they must make split second decisions and work without backup readily available. A new grad going into HH is jeopardizing their patiens as well as their license.

MY mother is an RN and works for a Home Health agency in NY and told me the exact
same thing. She would not advice new grads to do home health. Sorry if we didn't answer your question but I'm just reinforcing what was told to me by my mom just last week!!!!!!!!!!!
