- I got a new job! It has officially been 1 year working as an RN and I have decided to start on a new adventure in expanding my RN experience, skills, and knowledge. In this video, I talk about my new salary, why I left my previous job (not completely) and experience as a new nurse. I like being transparent with my salary because it benefits everyone! I have been enjoying my experience working as an outpatient RN and don’t see myself working inpatient at all. I have more control over my job and life, allowing me to have better work life balance.
If you guys would like a more in depth of what it’s like being a home health RN, let me know! I am excited to share daily vlogs and experience working as a field nurse.
Thank you guys for watching and again, thank you all for your support!

Thank you guys for watching! If you’re interested in what’s it’s like being a home health RN case manager, comment down below any questions you may have!
Day in the life video would be appreciated!
@@amandaboateng9159 already working on it! 🙌🏼
Yes Pls 💕
Yes please show more detail on being a home health RN. DITL videos would be good. How is the driving on your vehicle and in light of higher gas prices. How is the documentation in HH compared with your previous job?
Yes! Already working on it!
They pay per mileage depending on the state’s current compensation. Prior to gas prices, we we’re getting compensated 0.56 cents a mile, due to the increase in gas mileage they raised it up to I believe 0.63 cents/mile until the end of the year. Driving 120+ miles a day affected me lot, filling my car up to twice a week. I don’t get paid mileage until the next paycheck so it does affect my weekly budgets.
Since working closer to home, I fill up my gas every 1.5 weeks. So it was a big difference!
HH documentation right now has been pretty heavy. In a day I chart up to 4-5 regular patients + an admission. This can take me up to 3 hours. Hopefully I am able to develop some hacks as I get used to the new way of charting.
Thank you for your videos. I just accepted an offer as a Home Health RN. Please do more in-depth videos.
Thank you for always keeping it real.. missed your videos.. I’m in second term of core at wcu! I’m happy your doing great!
Omg! Thank you for the support!
hey i just got accepted into an ADN program here in LA after spending 2 years in taking those dam science classes haha! so happy for you and i watch all your vids
Yay congrats! It's gonna go by so quick, you'll be a nurse in no time! & thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Oh wow! Where did you get accepted to? Congratulations! I applied to 6 adn programs in Los Angeles but got rejected to all lottery programs. The 2 point based systems gave me alternate. I have a 4.0, 82 on teas, and cna experience. You’re so lucky to to into any ADN program!! Since I was shocked not getting in, im going to west coast in Jan 😪😭😭
@@jessicaftw9564 ahhh I’m going to west coast at the north Hollywood location !! Love to see others starting there as well!! ✨🫶🏼🤩
@@sabrinanajera5006 ahh! When do you start ??
@@jessicaftw9564 Hopefully in January as well! I’m taking my HESI in September with west coast!
Love your vids and your transparency. ❤
Thank you for watching!! & of course! I love being as transparent because it benefits us all!
Love this! I just got a job offer as a new grad for a home health RN position with a salary of 110,000. However, I would mainly be doing UAS assessments rather than home care, which I like because I currently work as a home health aide. How do you feel about this type of position for a new grad? Their offering 4-weeks paid training.
By UAS do you mean assessing a patients eligibility for home health? Sorry I had to look up what UAS was because I’ve never heard of it!
I feel like assessing a patient’s care/eligibility helps you to develop critical thinking skills. It helps you to assess the patient as a whole, which include needs outside of a hospital setting. I think it is very beneficial as a new grad! Even though it may not require hands on skills, critical thinking skills take longer to develop!
Love your videos!
Hello! Congratulations on your new job! It’s good pay. I was wondering if you remember the book you used for Pathophysiology. I’m starting WCU in Jan and I’m hoping to study in advance 😅
HOW LONG DID YOU GO TO SHCOOL FOR TWO YR RN OR 4 YR RN??
120,000K one year as an LVN
What state ?
Hello girl thanks for sharing plz post more videos I love to c u I always look forward for your video u motivated me a lot
Thank you Rumana!! I will definitely work on this! So excited to do more vlogs!
Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. The audio however, is quite difficult to deal with 😢 like the heavy puffing into the mike ufff not to be mean thi
Girl can u share more on how are u managing your loans ?? Coz me considering west coast for bsn just worried will I be able to take care of those loans ??
Yes! I’m planning on doing an in depth video of all my finances!
Hi! It would be great to hear how you negotiated in your interviews for home health. How did you decide on this company? What is the pay structure more specifically. I know you mention you are paid hourly, but is it for a straight 8 hour shift, as in you're being paid hourly for the shift 10-630 (minus a 30 min lunch) and anything over that is overtime? Do they reimburse mileage? Do they provide all the supplies and equipment you need, or are you left having to buy your own PPE sometimes?
I have been watching all your videos for little tidbits. I know you have moved into a new infusion job now, but I thought these questions fit in with this video best. Being in SoCal as well, this info is giving me real insight into what I need to know when applying for home health jobs. Thanks so so much!
So glad I found your video! You’re explaining exactly how I feel. I graduate this summer
Which company is this I live in this area an need a job
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
120k a year is not enough. My husband makes over 150k and he’s a truck driver.
Unrelated but how long did it take you to finish nursing school? I’m close to finishing prereqs and applying to wcu oc
About 28 months
Hey there, i love your vids! Do you think it'd be possible to do home health part time while also having a separate job within a hospital?
Yes! I would rather say do per diem since you can pick up as many shifts as you want. But usually with home health, they have you see a certain amount of patients. I’m not sure how per diem is but with full time we have a min of 28 visits, and part time is about 15 visits.
Hi girl do you still have books from WCU nursing core?
Hello, I have a quick question. Are nursing programs competitive to get into? For example I was considering applying at a CSU for a nursing program however besides the required classes before applying I believe you would still need to get accepted since it’s a competitive program and after you complete a BSN are you required to get like some sort of masters? Or would you just need to pass an exam then start working? Lol I hope it makes sense, any info would be appreciated 💯
Like at that point is an ADN better? Or BSN, thanks 🙏
From what people have commented or told me, yes it is competitive. I do suggest still applying to a CSU. After a BSN, you are not required to get a masters. You would pursue a master depending on what your goals are such as an NP, leadership role etc.
After getting your BSN, you sit down for the board exam and once you pass you get your license and are able to practice as an RN.
@@Bruhwthecomb nowadays in CA, having a BSN makes you more competitive.
It’s SUPER COMPETITIVE in LA! I have a 4.0, 82 on teas, and I’m a CNA, yet I got rejected to 4 lottery ADN programs and got 2 alternate in LA. I’m so shocked since I think I have a strong app. Im attending WCU in Jan. Im not going to waste my time I’m the cc system bc it’s all luck tbh.
I got in with a first try here in San Diego. I had all Bs in my science classes and 82 on teas.
What skills do you feel like you need to work in home health? What exactly do you do?
I’d say the same skills you’d see on medsurg! Home health patients are usually coming home straight from the hospital and our goal is to prevent them from rehospitalizations. 90% of what you do in home health is educating your patients on their disease. For example, pt’s who are sent home with a new diagnosis of a-fib, you educate them on the disease, what symptoms to watch out for, when to call 911, teach them meds. I’ve had other patients sent home after an exacerbation of CHF, educate them on edema management, medication adherence, etc. The rest of the 10% is skills like PICC line management, wound care, post-op incision care, urinary catheters, blood draws etc.
@@nurse_krizia
Thank you.
Does your company provide y'all education paperwork for the patient? For example, what do you do if you encounter a disease you've never heard of
@@looking_for_nice_weather they do! I also use my own resources such as Wolters Kluwer for patient education. I attach the documents to my charting, it saves me so much time on documentation!
@@looking_for_nice_weather if it’s a disease I’ve never heard of, I just research on my own and review the hospital documentation
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! What would you say your stress level is for this job? And do you come across the situation of protecting your license often ?
Thank you for watching Carina! For me, I'd say it is an average of 5/10. You must be very organized! Meaning having a schedule, planner, check lists, etc when planning your week. If you run behind or something happens during visits that you didn't expect, it can get stressful like a 8/10. If you are someone who likes getting things done without really having people bother you, this job is for you! I find myself protecting my license with every decision I make. You have to chart everything, take photos, call doctors, communicate with MDs to cover yourself. But if you're a great nurse, this is just normal practice. So far, I have been trying my best to ask questions with my mentors if anything doesn't feel right. In the home health or hospice field, you require a lot more supervision with LVNs and home health aids, so it's important to communicate with the team and make sure they report any changes to your patient's condition. Overall, I feel like I'm my own boss and I love it!
Do u recommend home health for new grads
I only recommend it for new grads who work with a company with a lot of support and a group of supervisors who you enjoy working for. If not, it makes a big difference in your experience as a new grad.
@@nurse_krizia would I get trained on skills if I’m a new grad with no nursing experience?
@@DariTrinidad yes! The skills you’ll need/mostly come across are foley caths, central line dressing changes, wound care, and ostomy care. Rarely IVs.
Your employer should offer skills days and you can also come in to the office to practice.
Why is everyone doing home health… find a good hospital that gives you long term benefits.. home health should only be temporary and to get exposed to the system and gain some experience. Home healths don’t even have 401K or other benefits. Don’t get stuck in home health. Think of your future.
Not true, home health agencies do offer 401k, dental, vision, health insurance, HSA. There are also home health departments directly associated with hospitals like Kaiser, Providence etc that offer the same benefits as inpatient employees.
