Home health wages in Georgia

Published

I have over 12 yrs experience as a RN, all of those years working in the hospital in multiple areas (med/surg, orthopedics, oncology, etc.) I have relocated to GA and am hoping to dive into a new scope of nursing by trying out home health. I have interviewed with some agencies and have received an offer, but being new to this field and area I am not sure if these numbers are good. The offer is for $38/visit, $76/admission, $57/discharge and recertification. It also includes: $28.50/hr for orientation which is 6-8 wks (75% of per visit pay), $22.80/hr for any meetings, office visitis, inservices,etc (60% of per visit pay), $0.40 per mile (amount varies with current gas prices), $45/month cell phone reimbursement, $2500 sign on bonus with 1 yr committment (paid in 1st check), also provide you with personal laptop and wireless card. Are these numbers fair or totally off for GA?

I am also interviewing with an infusion center, what is the average wages in this area?

Wanted to get opinions of good and reputable home health agencies in GA. How does Visiting Nurse compare to Maxim Healthcare? What are the pros and cons of home health nursing? I could really use the advice. Thanks in advance.
