So I started my career on a med-surg floor and was quick to think I could change the world and opted to leave. Now, 4 years later...I'm returning. I'm leaving home health because I've found home health to be mostly full of douchebags. I'm really good at what I do (and I'm a good supervisor now-my team runs like a machine with minimal redirection). Those are the only people I feel bad to tell I'm going back to the hospital. As far as my management team, patients in home care seem to be more like dollar signs and "how much profitability" is lost on certain cases (specifically the ones that need us the most) and paperwork. Too many marketers involved in clinical decisions and seems like reject nurses galore. (No offense to anyone that doesn't work for organizations such as this, I mean that truly). So I'll probably stay on prn in the field but other than that I will be going back to the place where I really learned teamwork, and got through each day with leadership that was willing-it's worth the paycut.
