Pay in general of HH compared to bedside at a Hospital

If you are a new graduate I would do m/s for 1 year before home health - to get your skills perfected.

Thank you. I have been working for 2 years in the hospital and have what they think are good enough skills to work there. They do not take vents/trachs, and I am very skilled at IVs but regardless, I in passing have heard floor nurses talking about how they quit home health because of the paperwork and I was just wondering with current HH RNs if it is where you would like to stay, or if it is better pay wise to work at the hospital.

I make significantly more working HH than I did in the hospital. My hourly rate is technically about the same but with mileage reimbursement and the lower cost of benefits, I take home HUNDREDS of dollars more per pay period than I did working in the hospital. I'm not exaggerating... my health insurance costs 1/3 of what it cost when I was working in the hospital and the plan is the same or better. I have the same amount of PTO and I feel that the quality of life benefits FAR outweigh any benefits from the hospital.
