Home Health Salaries in PA

renerian, BSN, RN · Oct 5, 2003

The agency I was working for paid this rate and still does and they are in central ohio.

NO pay for drive time

No pay for office time

No pay for phone time

Pay of 18 per hour for meetings

25 per visit

50 for an open

75 per week for oncall

(when you were on call you got slammed with 3 to 6 admits and extra visits and you were required to work the entire next week without a day off)

34 cents per mile with the usual rules for mileage

coverage/9 counties and nurses are not in geographical areas

no cell phone reimbursement

By the time I figured in my drive, office and phone time I made between 8 to 10.00 per hour as a RN. Left due to this fact. When I left I had not had a day off for 6months.

What do you get paid?

The medical benefits we got were a joke! 80/20 plan with very high deductables and crappy med card.

I had to buy a new car every other year and sometimes in a nine hour day I could only see 3 people as our coverage area was huge and no one was in an area and the company refused to do that so sometimes I would work 9 hours and make 75 dollars for the day. Not good.

$24/hr

Pediatric Home care in S.E. PA

NO pay for drive time, and the case I'm working on is 20 miles each way 4-5 days a week. No reimbursement (thru agency) for milage.

Benefits (just for me) are $68+ a pay which is EVERY WEEK.

Only $1 more an hr for trach/vent pts.

Not eligible for any paid time off until you've worked 2000 hrs. Do the math, at 40 hrs a week, work 50 weeks straight without a sick day or vacation day.

I'm only doing this for the flexibility so that I can take a periop course w/clinical.

I could never think of doing this FT permanent unless the benefits were better. The hospital job I just applied for has MUCH better benefits and pay starts at $26/hr.

I am going to be moving to PA soon, York County. Does that pay include shift differentials? I am trying to determine if I ma goin to get a pay cut. I curently wok in Baltimore and I make a base rate of 28 plus differentials [average of 30].

I'm in NEPA,, we average about $20-25/hr for RNs, our paid time starts from the first visit until we finish at the end of the day,, this includes drive time,, we also get reimbursed mileage. No differential for difficult cases/admissions. We don't have an on-call requirement, we have a volunteer that is usually is on-call(me) at $15/day pay, plus regular time if I do have to go out on a visit in the evening(rarely happens, maybe twice in the last year)
