I am somewhat of a newbie graduate and I obviously don't have much experience. It seems I will not be landing my dream job anytime soon. But I cannot help but to notice that the FEW available nursing positions are in home health.I know of a few agencies that do not require experience, either. They actually do not pay too shabby.
However, as a newbie nurse, I am concerned about taking one of these jobs. I'll be frank. The economy is awful, right now, and I just really need to start working in the next few months. I do have a "reserve" (savings account), but I don't want to rely on that for too long. Right now is nice. I am taking care of things, spending time with family..etc. But I am going to become aggressive about applying for nursing positions in the next couple of weeks.
Most nurses in my area are having an EXTREMELY hard time landing jobs. It's actually really depressing, at times. I wonder if they have considered home health. I just want to ask....did any of you just go straight into home health right out of school? I feel like I will not receive solid experience/skills if I go right into home health. I'm afraid I will be doing myself a disservice. Does anyone care to shed some light on this?
Thanks
