New nursing career

[Mandy LVN]

I have been a Med/Surge nurse for the better part of the last 9 years and have decided I want to try something else. I have an interview today at 2pm with a home health agency. I am a little nervous as I have NO home health experience but have gotten tired of the hospital. I seem to be in a rut there and there is NO room for advancement with out my RN (which I start next summer). If anyone can give me any tips/ideas as to what it's like as a home health nurse and what to expect I would really appreciate it. I usually have a hard time moving out of my "comfort zone" but I really think it's time. I am planning to keep my PRN status as the hospital but want to try something different. Thanks all!!!

You can get lots of perspective from doing some reading in the home health forum. Hope your interview went well for you this afternoon.
