Nurses have many career pathways and job opportunities, from hospitals to nursing homes to insurance companies to med spas. Home health is often an overlooked or unknown career pathway. When people think of home care nursing, they often think of visit nurses who provide acute follow-up to an event or a hospitalization. However, there is an entire industry of extended hours home care nursing that many people don’t even know exists! This type of home care is generally provided for patients with tracheostomies, ventilators, and other high-tech medical conditions.
Why is home care nursing a great career? Home care nursing is often a more relaxed environment than a bustling facility. Nurses are one-to-one with patients and can see from day to day how their clinical care impacts the patient. Home care nurses
- provide personal, meaningful one-on-one care.
- allow clients to live life to the fullest at home with their loved ones.
- allow clients to participate in school, work, activities, etc. that they may not been able to otherwise.
- obtain acute care experience.
- learn specialized care ie. working with clients who are trach and vented.
