I had an interview today with a Home health angency that specializes in psychiatric visits while still addressing the medical needs of pts as well.....the salary is $1100 dollars a week in order to be considered full time you must do 37 visits a week. The office was clean, friendly atmosphere with the nicest clinical managers! Also health and dental benefits along with 25 days PTO a year.....I am waiting to hear back from an interview for a school nurse position this coming week and I also have an interview Monday for another school nurse position. I think both types of position seem good in their own way....I am just unsure if I will get tried of driving around especially in the winter and It would be great to have summers off but I know for sure I will not have that kind of pay nor that kind of flexibilty....what am I to do???

PS both interviews went great.....not sure how Monday will go!

Wow...those are some important things to take into consideration. I guess the way the clinical mangers made it seem were as though these patients were pretty stable mentally but that they did need assistance with certain things. I am aware of the danger that home visits can create but that would not hinder me from doing that kind of job. I would just like potential employers to be honest, and it stinks not knowing the truth until you actually start working at a certain place.

Here's another question, are you sure that all these visits will be for seeing only psych patients? Do they have that many psych patients that you will be seeing 7 to 8 of them a day?

I think there's a good possibility that you will be seeing the other patients on service who don't have a psych dx.
