Hi.
Just wondering if any of you started their nursing career in homecare. I understand the downside to starting a career in homecare without acute care/med surg experience, or nursing home. But, the opportunitites are endless as far as vareid experiences-wound vacs, lots of foley's suprapubic, Picc line flushes, lots of wound care, etc. Lots af assessment skills and teaching, too. Just wouldn't get that in a nursing home.
Would love some feedback or personal experiences. The independance is great, and the RN's and office supervisors are great-the LPN scope here is a bit broader than in most states, too.
Just looking for some feedback.
Thanks
