Hello. Wanted to get opinions on a job. It’s hospice home health. On call every weekend (Saturday 12am - Monday 8am). Get paid for 40 hours weekly. Their census is around 55. Anyone currently do a similar position ? I’m in the interview process with them and since I would be new to this field I don’t want to not ask any questions I should. I don’t know how much to expect to get called out. I know that can vary widely. But since I would be On call for 56 hours and get paid for 40 I am hoping I’m not actually running the entire 56 hours. Thanks for any advice or input.

Thank you NRSKarenRN. Is there a way to move my message to that forum?

Hi all. New here. Got offered a home health case manager position. Will be a total change from what I’m doing now. Wanted to see if what I am being offered (and told about the job) is in line with others doing a similar position. Will be full time position. I get 13 weeks of orientation. This will be a combination of class time, office time and in field preceptorship. After training I will work 4 tens per week (8-6). I am responsible for 5 units per day or 50 in 2 weeks. If I go over 50 I am paid $59 for every unit after 50th. Work one weekend per month. One night of call per week. I am being told it’s rare to get called out m-f but then when I have a weekend day I’m in call that I can for sure expect to go out. You get paid $75 to be on call and if you get called out you get triple productivity. Salary is 78,000 a year. It’s through a very large hospital system in my area. I want to take it and try something new. I am leaving a position of 3 12’s per week working 3am and getting little sleep. I have heard some say they love it and some say it’s terrible and the paperwork causes you to work over your 40 hours per week. Anyone have feelings either way? Love it? Hate it? Does this offer sound fair? Thanks in advance.
