I have to write a paper on the role of the RN in Home Health. Can someone give me any good websites to use, all I have found is just a spill to come to work for a specific company. I need to know the specifics of what an RN does in this type of setting and the variances of the role. I would appreciate any help that I can get. This is my last semester, I will graduate the 1st of May, Praise God!!!!!!!! That is if I can pass our exit exam that they threw on us last semester. But that's neither here nor there, right now I'm just trying to get through my last semester. And let me just say thank's to everyone that uses this site, I think that it is awesome!!!!!

Go online and search for the job descriptions for job openings. You will find that the job duties are posted in the job descriptions. I have two home health nurses that visit me weekly. They change my PICC line dressing and hook me up to my infusion of chemotherapy. They also have a lot of paperwork that they have to do that I don't get to see, but I hear them talk about. They all carry cell phones and are in constant communication with their offices and patients.
