Hey all, I've been combing threads all day and thanks to the contributers who've answered questions I won't list here. All the information has led to a new question: Is endoscopy nursing vastly different in a hospital setting vs. an office or clinic? I've worked "a year and change" in a large hospital on a med/surg floor (mostly GI, ha!) and a position in Endo is open. I'm interested in applying to transfer and the info I've picked up here seems encouraging. ps-what do you think the odds are I get to spend some time downstairs somewhere in the application, and hopefully interview process?

First post, woo!! Longtime fan, though. I've been on an GI/Renal overflow MedSurg floor for about a year (May '10 grad). The big news is that I just interviewed with SC DHEC for a HH job. I'm really excited about the possible move (it is abundantly clear inpatient is not for me, even outside of the "you really shouldn't make a decision before you've given it a year" and "new-grad-blues"). I'm going to schedule a day or two to ride-along with one of their HH nurses and I will have plenty of questions, but a little extra credit never hurts. So, what do you love about HH and just what makes for a bad day in HH? Before I interviewed, I had been looking at going back to school to get off the floor. Just wanted to know if HH might be a good move. ( If you're wondering, I had a limited community health clinical rotation in school, maybe 4 home visits, but I thought it was good. And although I work with a great team, the job I'm in isn't conducive to a happy life for me, lol.)
