The difference between working in a hospital and working home health is night and day. I’m going to be talking about my experience as a home health nurse, what a day in the life looks like. I’m going to touch on some myths about home health nurses, kind of the reputation that they have and if I think that that’s warranted or not. And how it compares to working in the hospital. These are just things to kind of tuck in your back pocket if you’re going through nursing school right now, or if you’re about to go through nursing school. And if you’re anything like me, I had no idea what kind of nursing I wanted to do after I graduated. Some of my friends knew exactly what they wanted to do and I always envied that. But that was not me, and I think in some ways, I’m still looking. You know, but I don’t think there’s any shame in that. I think it’s good to be curious, and I hope I’m forever curious and forever learning. And that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m learning about different specialties within nursing, and that is the beauty of nursing.
