Home care is still hands down my favorite kind of nursing.

Thanks so much for this excellent reminder.

Some of the cases are heartbreaking, others just frustrating...
I really loved doing this type of care.

That was an excellent article. One of the things I liked the most about it was that it was realistic. Also, the nurse was professional. She gave accurate, true answers. She didn't make promises she couldn't keep. She didn't say "oh, I'll come back even if I have to do it on my own time!". I appreciated the limit setting.
