Pros
The most appealing thing about PDN is working one on one with a patient versus many patients and personalities in a hospital setting. Yes, you may have an opportunity to earn a little more money in a hospital depending on the floor or shift, but the decreased stress level by leaving that environment makes all the difference. Strive does have some competitive rates depending on the patient and you can earn OT from time to time, so it just depends on your personal effort/ability. They promote training opportunities all the time as well. I find the team here to be very supportive and invested in my overall happiness. The communication from the office staff is better than anything I experienced at other agencies, and they are all great people to work with.
Cons
Not a con necessarily, but your work environment is someone's home versus a hospital setting. I love this about the job, but it's important to maintain boundaries.
