The Field Staff Crash Course for Hospice and Home Health Care Nurses: If you've never worked Hospice or Home Health Care before, you NEED this information...
I don't care if you've been a nurse since the stone ages. If you've never worked Hospice or Home Health Care before, someone needs to give you an honest, no BS heads-up.
This is the stuff your hiring manager probably forgot to mention during the interview such as the stuff you'll need to buy before you leave orientation, the fact that you'll need gas money well before you get paid, how to handle the office favorite (supernurse) and so on.
Every agency is different but the gist of this industry's occupational hazards are about the same across the board. If you're considering a career working with patients in the home setting, do yourself a favor and read this book.
I'm not pretending to be an expert nor am I trying to talk you out of taking the job. I just want to give you a realistic look at what you're getting yourself into.
