I had a few contacts that I interviewed already, I was hoping to compare some answers and any other perspectives are always good. Thanks!

Hi! I'm doing a project on various specialties in nursing and was hoping if I could get a home health nurse to answer some questions for me? Anything would help? thanks!!! Interview with Home Health Nurse (refer to Appendices for Resume and Biography) Why were you interested in this profession? [*]B. Is this a difficult position to get into? [*]What types of certifications or qualifications did you need/have for home health nursing? [*]What is the goal/mission of home health nursing? [*]What is your role as a home health nurse? [*]What are the advantages and disadvantages of your position? Advantages: Disadvantages: [*]Can you describe your typical work day? [*] What kinds of tasks do you do? (i.e., giving medication, physical exams, etc.) [*]Who needs home health care? [*] How does HIPPA work with your profession? K. How is home health different from other specialties in nursing?

I was wondering if there were any books I should look into getting to get myself prepared for the program. I start spring 2010, I have seen people suggest a dosage calculation book to practice. Is there a particular one that any of you in the program would recommend?
