@caliotter3: Thank you for your input! I think you and my sister are right. While it might be normal to get paid by the visit, the self-employment classification seems like shady business practice. One of my friends warned me to be careful as her last boss hired her under "self-employed" status and tried to get away with not paying her. She eventually had to report him to the labor department. @Liz08: I spoke to a home health nurse, and she told me that it is normal to get paid per visit. I have only spoken to this one person though, so you might want to research it further.

Hey guys! I'm a new grad RN in California, and I just got back from doing an interview with a home health care agency. They told me that the pay was $40 for each patient visit, and that I would be considered self-employed since I will not have a full-time/part-time status. I was just wondering if this is normal/average for home health nurses. My sister seems to think that this is shady and that I shouldn't trust them, but then again she is not a nurse. Can anyone help me out? Give me your opinion on this? Thanks so much!
