HI, I am in Arizona and recently started working with a pediatric home health agency. Basically I took the job because the hospitals aren't hiring and I can't say that there is one area I really want to work in, I feel that I want to try everything and I really do enjoy working in HH. Everyday is a learning experience. The baby was born premature and is now one with a trach and G Tube. I've attended dr appts and been at the house when PT and OT are there.

I suppose I didn't write the question correctly, what I was wanting to know if there were any LPN's in Arizona doing home health and what there experiences were.

Hello, I have recently started with a home health company in Arizona as an LPN and I work shifts of 4 to 12 hours depending on the the needs of the family and wanted to know if there were other LPN's in Arizona doing home health like this and what they think? Thanks

Hi, I too have my LPN for about 3 years and recently finished school for my RN and test in July. I work at a Banner Hospital and their pay range for LPN's is 17-22/hr, although they are not currently hiring. And census has been low so I am only getting in a shift or two per pay period. Recently I started looking into home health agencies Nursing Solutions pays $20/hr for shift work varies from 4-12 hrs depending on what you want, no benefits though. MGA pays 21.50 hr. Also, in the nursing homes you can get pool positions starting at $24 hr, if you can get them. Its just slow everywhere right now. Where did you go to school?

Are you familiar with externing at Banner?

Hello, I am new to allnurses.com and would like to know if new grads are hired as home health employees in Arizona. Thanks
