Is it hard to move from hospice home health to the hospital setting?

I recently made a post regarding a position with hospice home health and the responses were very helpful.

If I can ask a couple more questions: I will do call one night a week 5p-8am. Triage nurses are the front line for on call so I'm hoping that will provide a cushion (ie. lessen the times I have to go out). Do you all do call and if so how frequently does it occur and what types of incidents and stress level? My second question: I have 2 years experience in critical care which is the totality of my nursing career. I am somewhat fearful that removing myself from the hospital, especially with limited experience, to do the home health care will make it hard for me to be accepted back into the hospital setting if indeed I find I made the wrong choice and what to go back. Any thoughts?

Again, I truly thank you...your comments are helping me achieve a greater level of peace with my decision!!!!
