    I'm a career HHN and I like it to love it on any given day. It's hard work but satisfying where patient appreciation is easy to obtain.

    It does take a few years as well as being inherently wired for that type of self organization and directed to become efficient and comfortable.

    I love home health and the patients, I hate the charting that is never ending. There's an immense satisfaction in teaching people how to manage their disease processes so they can stay out of hospitals and stay home with their families. But there is also frustration when I have families that won't help out or seeing how isolated some of our elderly truly are. I love the autonomy and independence of home health, but it can be lonely at times too. Every time I swear I hate it and am leaving it for good...there's a patient or family that shows so much gratitude that it reminds me not only why I do home health but why I'm a nurse. Charting and lack of family time (due to my own inability to say no to extra visits) led me to leave full time but I still work PRN at two home health companies and one hospice. Its a love/hate relationship for me.

    While I found intermittent visit work to be taxing and less rewarding, the biggest benefit of extended care home health has been the advantages of working with one patient versus as many as 80 in the LTC facility. Difference as big as night and day.

    I really enjoy it because you get to know your patient better than if you were in LTC. I also enjoy the one on one aspect vs LTC where you can have as many as 30+ (I know I'd never make it in LTC because of how organized you have to be while keep a fast pace. My anxiety issues would go through the roof! Lol). It doesn't pay that great though.
