Hospital nurse...Is VNA for me?

Hello everyone, just a quick run down on my job history I was a CNA for 4 years in nursing home, assisted living, and adult daycare settings working for an agency some of the time. I did one time go to a home as VNA and vowed to never do it again because they gave me a patient that was breaking all the rules, smoking inside, on drugs and it was very unsafe and intimidating for me. But then I became an LPN for 3 years and worked in nursing home and did adult daycare. Lastly now I'm an RN for 3 years now and have worked in skilled nursing rehab and have been working on a telemetry unit for about 2 years now. After being pregnant during the pandemic and being burnout in general with a little one at home, I was looking for something away from the hospital. I was curious about the ins and outs of VNA to see if it is something I could do. Pros and cons? and Yes I'm afraid of going into some peoples homes after my first experience, but would like to know your experience. Thanks in advance!
