Thanks everyone so much for responding. I can tell already how helpful this site is going to be for a new nurse I think I like the idea of setting up my own schedule with my patients. This is what I have been hearing I just wanted to make sure it was possible. A coworker says she has X amt of pts. She is told how many times per wk they need to be seen and then it is up to her from there. I love that idea. She also said she only has to stop back at the office once a wk to drop off papers. No clocking in or anything like that. I also like that I can take on more visits if I need the money and cut back when it is too much. Also I love the idea of one on one time with pts. I think I am def going this out.

Hi. I have a few questions about HH. I am currently a LPN working at a skilled nursing facility. I have been a nurse for about 1 year and am really interested in HH. Do some agencies pay by visit. Ive talked to some coworkers who have worked in HH and said they get paid by visit and the time for the visits are up to the nurse and pt. I love this idea of flexibility. I have also heard the pay per visit is around 30 dollars and a nurse can have as many visit as he/she can handle. Ive heard of nurses doing 70-80 visits per wk. This all sounds too good to be true. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:nuke::nuke:
