i have been RN for 3 years and never had HH experience but they still hired me and i proved i did really good. from their side, if you can prove by resume and from interview that you are a person who work hard, know what you are doing, care about your patients, all so called professional, and also depends on how badly they need hire people and how many competitions, if you match their requirements, or they deadly need people, or nobody else is applying, all these can help you get a this job without any previous experience. this job can be really hard or really easy and highly depends on your attitude, if you care about your patients and want to cover them entirely, you have to do a hard job, on one side, instruct patients and do all these care, make sure they take their medications, medications works well, eat right food, get enough exercise, so on and on; contact doctor office if you find anything, or even anything you concerned, like i have to instruct one of my pt who is going to surgery about his insulin because nobody told him nothing specific that he would be NPO from that evening so he should not take his night time lantus. if i did not instruct him, the same morning of surgery his blood glucose buttom down, it has nothing to do with me, nobody can try to blame me this because HH is nothing to do with this guy outpatient surgery, but he is my patient under my care, i have to think more for him. so you are the caregiver, you are the case manager, you are everything. otherwise, you can just go there and talk to them every time and document that they are good, then they may go hospital next week but really nobody can blame to you. all your call. no matter you did before or not. :)
