Please Help Me Figure This Out!!

[athomemom56]

I need help figuring out which company comes out ahead lol!

Lets just say its 15 minutes between each visit.

I don't know how many miles that would equal out to, but help me figure out an average number??? Based on the info below, which one is best. It seems I would have to do more visits with company B???

Company A: Pays $30 per visit

---No gas reimbursement

---My car gets @ 20 mpg

---visits are ROS, vitals, sometimes pts with J tube, Chest tubes, Dressing changes, IV's, variuos procedures

---Visit Notes are detailed and are two sided with quite a bit to complete

----Average time should be around 30-45 minutes, but usually ends up being up to 1 1/2 hours

Company B: Pays $21 per visit

---48 cents per mile gas reimbursement

---my car gets @ 20 mpg

---visits usually are vitals and med setups

---Visit Notes are one sided and pretty simple, also have the option to do documentation on the computer

---Average time is 20 minutes per visit

Note: With Company B, there are high rise units where up to 6 pts might live which would save on travel...not sure how many they have like this

So option A is all paper charting, no gas reimbursment and if it takes you a total of 1.5 hrs (with paper work) this is $20/hr

Option B is $21 per visit with a computer and gas mileage to boot, I would go with B, if I had too. What is the deal with the low pay?? Where do you live?

I get paid in the $30's/hr with 52 cents mile with a computer...full benefits. I love my company, what you have described seems the norm, and that is NOT ok! You can email me if you want more info.

Patient care has got to suffer if you have nurses rushing from pt to pt just to make a living.

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. I am more on the slower side.
