I am wanting to go per diem. What sort of insurance did you go with? Was it reasonable price? Please help

Lol at the free meals. You both are right. Thank you for the feedback.

You are right. I thought that was strange. She reassured me that it is very rare to get a call at all. The call goes to a triage nurse first and if its bad she tells them to call 911. If its small she tells them it can wait til Monday. The man anger stated that o wouldn't have to go out in the middle of the night but I would be going out up until like around 9 pm and then just taking calls which she states has only happened one time and she has been there almost two years per her.

Thank you!

The hours for home health you start around 8:30 or 9 am and she said you may finish around 3 pm and take home charting. Its Mon thru Friday with occasion on call for one week. No Sundays.

The home health job pays 36$ per visit. Which I'll do like 5 patients per day. You are on call one week every 4-5th week. On call pays 250$ along with your regular hours you'll do that week. They reimburse mileage .45 on the gallon. Again my main concern was driving to various houses different days the wear and tear on my vehicle vs office is just 3 mins from my house. I'm not sure. I know home health would be more money but also skeptical about being alone.

It may sound bad but I am just looking for stability and a routine. I am not interested in going higher up or worried I will not have a "career". I see your point of needing to know what I want to do and what's important to me. I want more time to spend in my volunteer work I do which is 18 hours per week. So I am looking to see which job would be better for me to do that.

I was offered a job here in VA at a doctors office. They are going to pay me $16 per hour. 140 hours of PTO per year. Insurance seems good but they pay is very low I know. I was also offered a Home Health job. Not sure which one to take? What are some pros and con's of working in both do you know? Thanks for your feedback!

Your right. Thank you for your feedback. From my understanding you would be seeing roughly 5-6 patients per day. If they happen to be hospitalized and not home then the manager will reschedule them or give me another patient to fill the void. Both jobs have benefits but the doctors office described in detail their benefits and they seem pretty appealing.. I was told at the doctors office I would get 140 hours of PTO for each year. I am unsure about the paid time off with Home Health. I haven't fully discussed in detail yet about the insurance since I haven't said yes to either right now.

Thank you for your reply. I live in a small town in VA. I dont have many options to choose from unless I did a commute which I am trying to avoid especially due to times of inclement weather. You are certainly right about the pay. But taking off the pay and verses what you have to do which would u choose as far as job. The visit in home health is staying in the house for 30 minutes per visit. You take on call once a month and get paid $250 for that (along with your check).

I am curious to know if you all had an option would you take a doctors office making less pay per hour (16.00$) or a home health position where they pay you 36$ per visit. I am a RN with almost 2 years of experience. The office job stated they will pay me that salary because they were seeking LPNs but would hire me as a RN. Most people are telling me to take the doctors office. I am slightly uncomfortable about being on my own with home health but the flexibility sounds nice. I also am not crazy about all the driving you have to do although they reimburse your mileage. The office is 8:30-4:30 Monday- Friday. Home Health is Monday- Friday with one Saturday per month if that. Please help. I am unsure which is best to take. I do know it is rare to get into an office in my area. I am not sure how to respond yet to the feed. I am still working with this site lol. Any feedback would help! Thank you.

I am currently seeking a position as a nurse who has one year of Med/Surg experience. I want a Mon-Friday position. I am wanting to know what seems a little less stressful .. Doctors office or Case Management? There is a case management position at a hospital but I have no experience in Case Management which is not a requirement to have. I am undecided. I am wanting to know which one would you suggest as nurses that have done either or. What do you exactly do as a Case Manager (RN) or what does a RN do in a office setting? I have been a nurse for one year and one half. Please send your thoughts. Thank you.

And don't give up! I didn't pass the first time either. Here are some tips... Think ABCs as priority. All answers may be right... but what is MORE important? What will keep your patient safe? What will keep them alive? What can you do now to fix the problem? If two answers are contrastt, likely one of them is the answer. Rarely will you ever call the doctor in NCLEX world. We were taught in NCLEX world you work at a perfect hospital in a perfect environment. don't think to yourself... well I cant start a Foley in this situation because the question doesn't say I don't have a Foley in the room... well guess what?!!! In NCLEX WORLD, you do! So think perfect nurse, perfect hospital. They don't want you to call the doctor because you are a NURSE. YOU should br making decisions. "Don't past the buck!" Know who you can delegate to and know what you cant delegate. Think airway is always MOST important. Breathing is MOST important. Keep them breathing, keep them safe Hope this helps. don't do like I did, the first time I failed because I tried to go back and study EVERYTHING! DONT DO THAT IT WILL BURN YOU OUT AND PLUS TOPICS YOU CHOOSE TO STUDY WILL COINCIDENTALLY NOT BE ON NCLEX. So do practice questions and study your prioritzation skills like that book I mentioned is excellent. It helped me pass for sure! I wish you the BEST! Keep us updated!

Ok thank you!!
