I have been an RN for 4.5 years. My first 2.5 years were spent on the medical/renal floor of our local hospital. The last 2 have been spent in the Level 1 Emergency Trauma Center at the same hospital. I have worked 12 hr nights for the past 2 years, and I have about had enough of it! I have a son who will soon be 3, and I am really tired of not being there to put him to bed, to get him up in the mornings, to take him to school, etc.... I have begun looking into home health for a more flexible, family friendly schedule, and I have an interview tomorrow. What I do know so far is that the company requires 25 visits per week, and I will paid per visit. I think the pay is roughly $30/visit, and $75-100 for admissions. I will be provided with a laptop and a company cell phone, and reimbursed for mileage. I'm trying to come up with a list of questions that I need to ask in my interview. I have come up with the following: -Do you see the same patients for the length of their need for home health, or are the pt's rotated with all the nurses in the area? -Can you chart at home or is it required to be done on the job? -Do you require on call time? -How many visits per week do most RN's average? I am also concerned about the pay. This year I made approximately $60k, and I can't really afford to take a huge paycut. I just need a realisitic idea of how many visits I should expect to be able to complete in a week to get a guess on my pay. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
