I truly appreciate all of your comments, advice, and support. I'm heading into my second month in home health, and I've come to the realization that this just isn't for me.I love the impact, the one-on-one time with patients, seeing their progress, and knowing that my work truly matters. But as many of you warned me, the work never ends. Between the nonstop calls, OASIS charting, and constant coordination, it's been almost impossible to maintain any sense of work-life balance.I'm a huge believer in protecting your peace and your purpose, and right now, that means choosing stability. There has to be a better way for nurses to deliver great care without burning out and maybe one day, I'll help build it. For now, I'm grateful for the experience, the lessons, and the reminder that sometimes "not the right fit" is still part of the right journey. Thank you all so much for all you do!

Thank you for your encouragement. I am going to try my best to stick it out. I appreciate your thoughtful reply. I can see the benefits and I understand, it's a learning curve. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again!

Thank you, I'm trying my best! Thank you, I'm trying my best!

This sounds like my dream job, but I don't personally know anyone who works at a company like this. Do you have any tips on how I could still land a position?

After almost 20 years in the hospital as a PACU/PCU/Stepdown nurse, I finally made the jump into Home Health. It's something I thought I always wanted to do, but after just two weeks I'm honestly ready to pack it in and head back to the hospital. The patient care itself is basically the same as the hospital except you're doing it all alone, in the patient's environment, without the support you'd normally have on a unit. Add in the hours of driving between visits and the endless charting, and it feels overwhelming. I like the idea of home health, but the reality has been rough. Are there any seasoned Home Health nurses here who can give me a reason to stick it out?

I don't think AI will ever fully replace nurses there's just too much hands-on care, critical thinking, and human connection involved. But what worries me is how often tech is being pushed into our shifts without anyone asking us if it actually helps.I keep thinking: instead of debating "will AI replace us,” we should be asking "can AI ever truly support us?”
