I was just hired by Metropolitan as a home care planner and start on the 11th. I had an option between that and home care nurse, so I have the same questions as you. Would be good to hear some feedback from metropolitan employees.

hey guys,

I am a new grad. Do you know if they are hiring new grads at this time? I know they dont for home care. What about nursings homes? Thanks

They will hire new grads if they feel you are a good fit for the position. I'm a new graduate and after searching for almost a year, I went to an open house and was offered the two positions I mentioned in the post above. I had previously applied online and never received a call. I believe they hold open interviews once a week or so. Fill out an online application and go in person on an open interview day. Dress well and be ready to shine. They really respond well to nurses who are passionate about their work and have other skills to offer (I have a background in office management and sales). Speaking a second language is a huge plus. Good luck!

Hi LovelRN,

A Home Care Planner usually works in a hospital setting working with pt's who've been recommended for home care by their MD's. We interview the pt and assess them for home care. Based on that assessment, we develop a basic plan of care according to their needs (ex: pt needs RN 2x/week for meds teaching or wound care, PT/OT, home health aide daily, etc...). A Home care RN goes out into the field and visits pt's homes to further assess the pt and their living conditions and delivers the care for the pt (ex: teaching, wound care, IV therapy...). The Home Care RN would also make other recommendations based on his/her assessment (home health aide, safety features for the home, etc.) Good luck!

Does anyone know the starting salary rate for a homecare nurse at metro jewish?

The open house didn't specify new grad or not...I just showed up! I believe home care RN starts at about 73K or so.
