I've been a Psychiatric RN for 20 years. I've have been a Staff nurse, Clinical nurse, Assistant Nurse Manager and an Acting Nurse Manager over the years. I am considering HH for the flexibility in house and time. I need to make a change from hospital care to HH mostly for the flexible hours. I have children to care for. I am recently divorced and split there care 50/50 with there father and I find the 12 hospital shifts do not work well with there schedule. I like the M-F and one weekend with HH. I also have experience in SICU, OR and Med Surg. Does anyone have any input regarding the company, the move etc.... I'd be grateful for any input/information given. I believe it really like psychiatric hh if given the chance and a great company to work for. I want to know I'd be supported every step of the way.

I am not familiar with that company-I work for a company in the midwest as a home health Mental Health RN Case Manager, after years of working psych in hospitals. I really like it-you get to know your patients very well, and if you work for a good company you can enjoy a lot of independence while still having support when you need it. The pace is more mellow as well-I can pretty much set my own schedule, dont have to worry about doing restraints, or having 50 things to do at the same time.
Good luck in your decision-I hope it works out well for you.
