I've been on an GI/Renal overflow MedSurg floor for about a year (May '10 grad). The big news is that I just interviewed with SC DHEC for a HH job. I'm really excited about the possible move (it is abundantly clear inpatient is not for me, even outside of the "you really shouldn't make a decision before you've given it a year" and "new-grad-blues").
I'm going to schedule a day or two to ride-along with one of their HH nurses and I will have plenty of questions, but a little extra credit never hurts.
So, what do you love about HH and just what makes for a bad day in HH? Before I interviewed, I had been looking at going back to school to get off the floor. Just wanted to know if HH might be a good move.
( If you're wondering, I had a limited community health clinical rotation in school, maybe 4 home visits, but I thought it was good. And although I work with a great team, the job I'm in isn't conducive to a happy life for me, lol.)
