Hi klone Have you attended this university and finished the program in 6 months? Or is this just what you have heard? I went on their web site and it says it may take 18 months or less. Plus, I live in California...when I do finish the program and get my BSN will it matter that the school is not CA located?

@akulahawk what is the name of the school that you have attended with "Career Mobility Option"?

Hello. Thank you all for your comments. I do appreciate it. Special thanks to rnrg and toomuchbaloney for sharing your experiences and giving me some heads up. My interview was a panel style interview where 3 staff members with different titles asked me questions regarding my experience and availability. I hope my post will help new graduates who are looking for first nursing job in home health. Here is a list of questions: Tell me about yourself? Why did you choose nursing as your career? Why do you want to work in home health? What kind of experience do you have? What training did school provide for you and what kind of facilities you practiced your skills in? What do you feel you do best and what skills you feel may need some more training? How would you deal with an angry patient or an angry family member? What would you say? Provide an example. What would you do if a family member wanted you to do something out of your scope of practice? What if the family member tells you that you're doing something wrong? What if they accuse you of something you didn't do? How do you deal with stress? At work and at home? Why do you think you are the best fit for this position? Do you have any questions for us? That's about it. They said they will provide any training that I need and that I will have all the support available if I need it once I start working. I then had to fill out some paperwork about availability and put check marks on a list of skills I learned or didn't learn in school. People there are all extremely nice and caring. They contacted me in a couple of days saying that I am hired and they need to do an approval through the state in order for me to start working. I am very excited and nervous all at the same time because it is in fact my first nursing job.

Hello souleater11, I believe that I will be working private duty/with individual cases.

Honestly, I was hoping for more help. Thank you to those who took the time and gave me some advice. I do appreciate it! My interview is next week and I can't wait to start my career as an LVN.

Hi everyone. I recently got my LVN license and was offered a position at a Home Health agency. I have been talking to the director of the agency through the email, discussing what they have available at the moment as well as some details about the job. She recently called to schedule an interview and she seems to be very laid back and sweet. She mentioned that there will be an RN who I'm also going to talk to on the day of the interview. I'm nervous mainly because this is my first interview and I want to leave a good impression. What kind of questions were you asked when you had your interview at home health as a new grad? And what was your experience like when you started working? Thank you.
