New grad for home health?

[Nublea]

I am a newly licensed LPN with no healthcare experience outside of clinicals/training. I've been having no luck finding a job (everyone wants at least one year experience) until today when a home health agency offered me a position upon learning I was IV certified. I was caught completely off guard with the offer and haven't had a chance to sit down and ask all my questions yet. Pretty much all I know so far is that they pay $15-20 per visit. So my main question is does this sound like a bad idea right off the bat?

I have also made a list of questions for the agency. Is there anything else I should ask? I am a little overwhelmed and barely know where to begin

Is there an orientation? How many visits typically? What areas do you serve (from where to where, how far)? Compensation for mileage? Any benefits? Do I need liability insurance? Uniforms? Supplies?

That rate for visits is low. The lowest visit rate for LPNs usually is $25 a visit. Depending upon the area, $20 an hour for extended care might be the norm, but in other areas, the hourly rate has been lowered to an average of $16-$17 an hour.

Yes to Liability Insurance, no matter where you work.
