Pediatric Home Health New Grad Tips

Published

Hello! 

I am starting an RN position with a pediatric home health agency. I am a recent grad/licensed BSN, RN with no previous experience. I did not have any success when applying to nurse residency programs so I chose to start with this job while I wait for the next round of applications to open up and I can apply again. My dream is to be a NICU nurse. 

Does anyone have any tips as to how I can be as successful as possible in this position? Also, any pro tips would also be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

It would depend upon the job category for which you were hired.  Were you hired as a clinical supervisor, an external "field" nurse, or as a case manager?  Each position has its own set of responsibilities.

Specializes in NICU.

Be very careful and thoughtful in what ever you do,establish an unblemished work record,learn,read,study, appply yourself to the pediatric patient.Read Nacogg core curriculum in your free time,try to answer each chapter questions.Get IV certified for peds and learning in nicu will be a little easier.
