MIHP (Maternal Infant Health Program)

[NursingRocks1998]

Hi all,

As a new grad I just got a job with a home care agency doing the Maternal Infant Health Program. Sounds pretty great, and since I want to be a L&D nurse, its right up my alley. FYI, I also have a BA in Psych. I was just wondering if anyone has done this- I'd love to get some info from some nurses who have worked for the program. I haven't started yet, so I'm wondering what I'm getting into :) Also, the agency pays $40 per visit, no mileage or gas. Is this normal? High? Low? Thanks for any info/advice!

The scary part about this is anyone can open one of these. I worked for a woman for 2 weeks and she not only did not have command of the English language, but her business and her personal life were a complete MESS.

Unpaid late bills all over her desk, unprofessional calls and texts to me and patients. I handed in my paperwork and told her not to call me anymore.

Hi Just wanted to know if you are still working with an MIHP or interested in doing it again. Please let me know. Thanks

I noticed there are quite a few MIHP's that do not do what they say they do, per many of the clients. I do not understand why nurses complain about working in Detroit proper. This is the battlefield. This is where the zip codes with high infant mortality/morbidity exist. People of color should be on a mission.
