  1. so you're paid from the beginning of your day until the end? It just makes me wonder if it's dubious for them to pay only during the time you're doing stuff in the patient's home, but not while driving around.
  2. I've started at a home health company... I'm a RN. This is in Michigan. Multiple ways that we can be paid... by the visit, by hourly plus mileage, or salary plus mileage. Salary is really only for those that can maintain a 26-30 visit caseload each w...

  14. Did I pass NCLEX??
