I started as a new graduate in the ER 9 years ago and love it! You need a preceptor who seasoned nurse to teach you the ropes. You have to be a quick learner, motivated, high energy and thick skinned.
I've been offered a per diem position with home health in north MS/west TN area and looking for comparable pays. While I do not have any home health experience, I have 9 years experience in the hospital. Pay is $28 for established and $50 for a new pt w/ 35 cents/per mile. This doesn't seem like the pay I've heard from two others in the area and I'm confused as to whether this would be worth while. Thanks in advance for any input!
