Description:
These are turbulent times and the stress on healthcare workers is insane, but have you really thought about what you want out of your nursing career? What is your purpose? What is important to you?
Yes, we all have to make money or we wouldn't have to work but what about after that? (By the way our wages are very competitive and we have a great benefit package)
Is flexibility important to you? Do you want to be able to control your work day? Home health has that.
Instead of a 12-hour shift on your feet, you drive from appointment to appointment, helping educate patients and caregivers about treatments, assessing their progress and providing counsel and care.
You work and make appointments around your life.
Have a soccer game at 5 then schedule your patients around that.
Need to run by the tag office, schedule it in.
You are in control.
What about culture? Maslow's hierarchy of needs says that every human needs to belong to something.
Something they believe in and contribute to.
We have that as well.
We have a very rich culture that values everyone's contribution.
What about connecting with your patients? In home health you get to truly connect with and teach your patients.
You will have a voice in that patient's care and can affect change in their lives.
You get to really utilize your nursing and critical thinking skills since you are in charge of the healthcare delivered to your patients in their homes.
When you go into someone's home you can see a lot about what's going on that you wouldn't get to see in the hospital and it's invaluable to improving their health.
You learn so much more about them, like what kind of support network they have, what resources they are taking advantage of and if there are other variables impacting their health and potential to recover.
This is a rewarding career that can re-energize your nursing purpose.
We are a growing agency that is bursting at the seams with all the patients who are needing care.
We need nurses that are devoted to their purpose of caring for others and truly want to be part of a great team that is affecting change.
