WHY I STOPPED HOME-HEALTH CARE NURSING 

I co sign everything you say in this video! I did home health as well and it’s a NO for me. That Oasis and traffic, along with the social issues. Too much.

Honestly, there are pros and cons in home health and bedside nursing. I never had an issue getting in contact with a physician, their on call staff or my clinical manager ever. At any agency, they have answered any hour. I also value that I could help a patient coordinate getting a new wheelchair, helping a teen gun shot victim go to Disney with their family or even build a ramp for a young ALS patient. I never discount my work as a home health nurse. A nursing instructor once told me, you’re going to see a lot of patients don’t live in the same homes you do. You need to separate that and know they need care too. Sometimes it takes a bit to find that sweet spot (in any job really.) I will say one of my best was home health/hospice owned by a RN so you know she advocated for her workers. I’ve been a nurse for 14 years. I’ve seen the good, bad and the ugly. I hear ya, if it’s not safe or not a good fit (been there) you can decline. Pay is also important. But don’t lose hope, there are some great ones. I left Orlando because they would make you commute and it’s just a very commute dependent place and I got sick of driving..but if you give yourself a chance, you might find an awesome city that pays respectfully and won’t take advantage of you.

I am considering to try home care nursing but this video came out in my recommendations. My questions were just answered upfront. Thanks! I'll have to continue working in the hospital

I just quit home care this week for All of these reasons and more. I don't not regret leaving

I recently left my full time position as an Rn case manager for a skilled medicare agency. You are spot on regarding the extensive charting, unpredictable working conditions ( hoarding situations, cock roaches, bed bugs ), providers can be difficult to reach requiring a lot of followup phone calls. My company provided mileage reimbursement. I was salaried and didn't receive additional compensation for charting outside of the visit. I was an RN casemanager for 5 years and stayed for the patients but ultimately left due to burnout.

I just interviewed with a company that pays hourly including travel. The hourly rate did include charting. They also compensated 58 cents a mile for travel. However the pay was not as much as your pay. The pay for a new grad LPN was $31 an hour

I sure wish I saw this before I took a home health job 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s been AWFUL!!!

Thank You for your honesty,

I do believe that company ruined your experience. I work as an aide for a company and all the nurses says they get compensated until the last chart in completed. And their miles are being track on the ipad they were provided. Thank you for your intuitive video

Home health RN, we are salary but all our visits are weighted with a number of pts, SOC 2.5, sn11 1, ROC 2, DC 1.5. As an RN 35 hrs is salary and to be productive we need 30pts a week. Each additional pt is extra money. We are reimbursed miles every week. Each 100 miles is an additional pt

I am with a very good company and am compensated for mileage, charting, time spent on case management, calls to providers and any office time I use. If I open my appointment afterwards and complete my charting, I am compensated...unless it is an exorbitant amount of time spent, then the office manager will decide how much time should be legitimately compensated. I do know this differs per company, but ALSO depending which coastline. I am West Coast and nurses here get paid quite a bit more than many states on the East Coast from what friends over there have told me. Home Health here starts at $30/hour for LVN and more DOE for RNs

Definitely you’re totally right, at least for me even have had periods when I was asking for the actual POC because the notes they sent to me were already due. Patients that are siblings they pay for them about 5 more dollars, saying Medicaid pay for them less money on home health, 😱

I definitely would love to work with you with Melanin Rich Apparel.

You gotta do what you gotta do, hang in there

Do you typically need a clean driving record to work as a Home Healthcare Nurse?
