Pay Rate For Personal Care Agency RN?

[Nurse!Nurse!Hello?]

I have an interview next week with a new start-up company that provides in-home personal care services for the elderly. No skilled nursing. This prn RN position involves creating and updating care plans and supervising the CNAs.

It is a 1099 position, which I have never had before, but I understand the main drawback is that I am responsible for paying all taxes.

Since I haven't had the interview yet I don't know if the pay is hourly or per-visit. When I filled out the application, I left the "desired pay" section empty since I had absolutely no idea what to put.

Does anyone know what the usual pay is for this type of position, either hourly or per-visit? I assume I would have to take into account the fact that I will be paying all the taxes & using my own car.

Any feedback is definitely appreciated! Thanks

Hi, did you ever take on the position?

I also was approached to be the RN with a home care company that was a start up. I told them I wanted the same rate I was print paid by the hospital and that I wanted to be paid hourly. I wanted to be paid hourly because traffic is a problem where I live. It would take me more hours to make the same amount of money I did at the hospital.
