Home health care allows nurses to get out of the traditional medical setting and care for patients in the community. Patients enjoy it because they’re able to receive the care that they need in the comfort of their own home. If you’re a nurse who is ready to take a break from working in a medical facility, home health care could be the right opportunity for you. Most agencies will require you to have several years of experience in the field, as well as a BSN degree. Patients receiving care at home are typically older, but the situations that you may encounter can vary greatly. In many cases, patients need care for medical conditions related to diabetes, wound care, cardiac issues, orthopedics, and more.
