I have done psych home health for 2 yrs now and love it. I do medication mgmt, safety checks, education and a lot of therapeutic communication. The majority of the time I do feel safe but if I did not I would not enter a home without some form of backup, such as another nurse or a supervisor. It is very challenging but rewarding as you truly impact their lives and are often the only person they may come into contact with in the entire day. Unfortunately many times the home environments are less than ideal but this is often the result of the disease and/or economics and the difficulty in finding appropriate housing. If you want any more feedback or info feel free to let me know and I will help if I can!!!

There is a little flexibility in clinicals but nursing classes are day only, and with labs generally all day. I have not heard of an evening option but they do enroll students all 4 quarters so the wait is not there like CSCC. Hope this helps!

Hi, I live in Reynoldsburg and go to nursing school at COTC, and it is not too bad. I have my classes and clinicals (the clinicals are mostly in Newark also) condensed to 2-3 days and while they are long days I would rather be there all day instead of driving every day. If you have any other questions on the school please feel free to ask. I am in the lpn program and will do the 3 quarter bridge program there also. Kris
