Help! Interview tomorrow for 1st HH job

Hello everyone.

I wanted to "prethank" you for answering a couple of questions for me. Ok, maybe more than a couple.

First off, I am an LPN. What role does an LPN have in HH? Are we quite limited? I have read the "typical day" of a nurse in home health, but was wondering if an LPN would gain as much satisfaction from their job as an RN in the HH venue. I am currently working in a long term care/subacute facility....and mgmt has made my job miserable. All nurses I have spoken with tell me that they either experience panic attacks on their way to work, have diarrhea, cry...you name it. This place is a beast d/t mgmt.

So...I need a change. Badly. And I thought that HH would afford me the opportunity for more one on one care w/o the continuous disruption of sensor alarms going off, patients/pt's/speech/dr's/etc, etc. I have found the stress to be hugely taking a toll on me.

I am really looking forward to HH.

What things may they ask me? The interviewer mentioned a med test? Should I review anything in particular? What things should I ask the interviewer?

I need stable work, and it sounds as if this would be stable, as they work with primarily brain/spinal chord injuries; she said these will be pt's with ongoing cases.

I can't tell you how excited I am to step out into the world of nursing in the area of HH. I'm just nervous...the change. I guess that's normal, though.

Thank you for any input you may have to offer!!

Emma
