Specialties Private Duty

Published

hello and HELP! I am new RN I have my ASN and enrolled in a BSN program. I went to my first interview for a pediatric home health company the other day. They told me they would pay me 10$/hr for the first 12 weeks of training!!! I am in shock, I feel insulted, and I'm disappointed. Ive never heard of a nurse being paid that! after training they told me my pay would be 20$/hr working nights and weekends, but that even seems low to me. Has anyone ever encountered this before? As a new nurse I dont know if this is a regular rate, or a company taking advantage of new grads who dont know better. I was so excited to even get the interview, but this just doesn't seem right to me... help!
