Nurse with 11 years experience here including peds ventilator. I have been disappointed with Bayada. They advertise like they have a lot of work. BUT even after I pay out of pocket for a police check, Lots of unpaid time, lots of wasted gasoline. Average hourly works out to about approx. $16/hour. But there are so many wonderful reviews about how the people love the flexibility, being with the patients etc. in this website, glassdoor, indeed, etc. Location middle of country. Who writes these reviews? April

Hi I have over 15 years experience in nursing with 2 years in ambulatory clinic. Sometimes I get called for interviews but don't get the job. I want to get a full time steady job with benefits. Earning less money per hour isn't the issue. The problem is per diem and last minute call offs and no commitment from employers. It is hard to schedule multiple part-time jobs. Would it be worthwhile to apply to postings for LPN jobs for a large multi practice, multi hospital system. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi I responded to an internet posting about pediatric home health and filled out application. I received follow up e-mails. When I telephoned I spoke to a different clerk, who made a appointment for me for interview. The day of the interview , two hours before a 3rd clerk calls me about my application. I can tell she has never seen it because she thinks I am a CNA . I am a RN who never had CNA license. So I go on the interview. I am interviewed by a clerk. She tells me she can't really tell me anything but does mention a rate of pay for orientation that is done in home is only paid at $10/hr and orientation at office is unpaid. I can't get an answer whether meeting the family is paid because Im not hired yet. I have a lot of peds experience but I am concerned about using a hoyer lift in the home. She says they will check my application and references and get back to me. 6 days later a 4th clerk calls be to confirm if I am coming to orientation tomorrow? What am I hired . I get the person who interviewed me on the phone and she says " don't you remember it is a 2 part interview with skills check off" oh okay but won't tell me who with or exactly what because I am not hired yet. And I find out that 7 other people are being checked off in two hours and it includes their charting. I ended up telling them no. I want to get a job but it seemed to strange. Can someone give any input?
