Home Health Nursing information..

You can get a reasonably good picture of hh by reading many of the threads in the forum. You set the schedule that you want. This works particularly well for someone doing shift work rather than intermittent visits (referring to how many days or shifts you work each week). Intermittent visit work entails meeting "productivity" that is set by your office. Each client must be seen at certain time frame so you work around that and do as many visits as expected. If you only want to work one shift each week that is up to you. You set something up that is agreeable to you, the agency, and whatever client(s) you will be working with. One nurse I knew, had to be home for her child when the child came home from school, so she worked a 7 hour day shift. Sometimes you can make "unique" hours, depending on the circumstances.

You have the experience. Don't worry about that. Anything that you are unfamiliar with can be explained to you by your supervisor. As for the other questions you posed, each of these matters can be discussed and arranged with the persons who are responsible for placing you on a case; or in the case of intermittent visits, the person who is keeping track of your schedule and patient load. I would call the particular agencies that you are interested in and just ask some of these questions to find out how they run things and what they expect of you. Different agencies have different policies and you may find that one is more suitable for what you want to do. Hope you find that you like home health.
