    any advice?

    jenrninmi replied to seekinginfo1's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Welcome! From what I've seen, the quickest way would actually be getting your BSN. The ADN schools all have YEARS for waiting lists (3-5 from what I'm told). My school did not have a waiting list...

    See, it's not like that at the agency I work for. Although this agency is very large and we cover 7 counties. I get a lot of hands-on, a lot of one-on-one interaction with my patients...quality...

    jenrninmi replied to Gorngi's topic in Home Health

    Do you get paid by the hour or by the case. I get paid by the hour. Without sounding "nosey" (I hope).... do you think $25.00/hr is too much to ask for starting wage on resume/interview for HH job?...

    When you count mileage, is it like a whole paycheck in itself???

    jenrninmi replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Home Health
