Pay Per Visit ... Good or Bad?

[bringmeashrubbery]

Hey guys! I'm a new grad RN in California, and I just got back from doing an interview with a home health care agency. They told me that the pay was $40 for each patient visit, and that I would be considered self-employed since I will not have a full-time/part-time status. I was just wondering if this is normal/average for home health nurses. My sister seems to think that this is shady and that I shouldn't trust them, but then again she is not a nurse. Can anyone help me out? Give me your opinion on this?

Thanks so much!

hello,my suggestion: don't pay them.

Pay per visit seems to be a way to screw over nurses.

Per visit is okay as long as the company you work isn't a

cheapskate and tries to get you to make free visits.
