I need some input from any home care nurses in nyc. Im currently working for an agency that is paying me 20/hr for a pediatric client with a g-tube. I accepted this rate bc they said they didn't have an RN case to give me. So I would get paid as an LPN. They would like to give me a new case, but will only get paid MAYBE $18/hr. They told me I would be getting paid less because its an adult case with a trach and medicaid is only payng this amount. Does this make sense to any one out there? I'm a new nurse, desperate for work and I don't have a clue about the rates for home care nurses related with the patients' medical insurance. Please help me. I need real information about this so that I may go to the agency and give them a reason as to why I shouldn't be getting paid such a low rate.
Guys, any advice for the newly hired homecare nurse? Im going to cover Brooklyn and Queens. My agency pays 60/initial and 55/recurrent, i am very grateful to have any job because i just got my license, however, loans, rent, daycare and other bills have to be paid, would appreciate any input)

My advice is to start your own thread on the appropriate specialty page. You will receive many more answers.
Do they still hire new Nurses. I approached them at the Advance Career Far recently. and they flat out said 'NO' they require hospital experience first....
