I am starting my job as a HH nurse next week, and I'm both scared and excited. I will be working in the psychiatric side of things, as is my specialty, and I've worked previously in both inpatient and outpatient psych as well as med/surg and corrections. My last job was a max-security men's prison but for various reasons I had to resign the position...I really did love that job! lol

Anyhow, I am eager to get on with things! Looking forward to learning lots along the way too!:D

Welcome to the ranks! There's a lot to love (and not love:)) about home health. Hope it's a great fit for you!

I start my new job with HH next week as well!! I have been a m/s nurse for about 9 years and decided it was time for a change! Hope all goes well, we'll have to compare notes!

Congrats, you will do well. It is def. less stressful than floor nursing. However, there are many other factors that may have you wanting to go back to the floor. But it will be a nice change. I do believe that you need to give it some time (about 1 year). I absolutely love!!! :nurse:
