My name is Jen and I am a health researcher who is conducting a study on blood exposure of home health nurses. I have one major problem, I am not a nurse and have no clue about the field. I figured who best hear from than you all. So where do I start??? I am currently trying to figure out how to work the state board of nursing licening database. Based on my limited knowledge, home health nurses can be employed by a variety of employers (hospitals, health departments, hospices, HH agencies, etc). Some states ask your employment setting during relicensure (I don't even know if that is a word). I am trying to figure out how h.h. nurses answer the employment setting question. Can someone help me? Basically, if you work for a hospital but did home health nursing would you select a hospital or home care as employment setting?
Another questions: can home health nurses work for themselves? Or do you have to work for an employeer (hospital, hh agency, etc).
thanks in advance for anyone who will take the time to help me. As my screen name says, I am clueless.
the texas cms site has a database of all texas home health agencies (very very very long list) with contact info for each. i'm sure each state has this list! and you could contact each home health agency for nurses willing to help with your study.
