I am a home health nurse who does intermittent visits in the home. The visit time can range anywhere from thirty minutes to 2 hours depending on what you're doing. Admitting patients to homecare is usually a long session as you are gathering information from the patient, assessing meds/patient systems,and signing consents. Afterwards you complete the lengthy paperwork.Along with providing skilled care-homecare focuses on patient teaching in order to aid the patient/caregiver with the information needed to manage their condition and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. :Santa3:

I am a home health nurse who has a patient with a 3rd degree burn on his back. He is elderly and has other health issues that are impairing the healing process. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on wound care (it is an area approx. 2.5 cm x 3.0 cm with red hypergranulating tissue.) The current wd care is nss cleanse-panafil spray-dsd change qd. Thanks!!

I've been getting very creative on my home health visits. I do my grocery shopping on my way home so I don't have to make an extra trip. It's helped.
