Home Health Nurse

According to WGU’s blog, a home health nurse provides one-on-one care for individuals in their home. Patients may be elderly, critically ill, or may simply be recovering from a surgery and cannot easily leave their homes.This blog lists out the responsibilities of a home health nurse, which change based on one’s education. Registered nurses can provide the most care as home health nurses, while licensed vocational nurses have fewer roles, and nurse assistants have even fewer. There is also a lot of flexibility in being a home health nurse because you get to choose which and how many patients you are responsible for. This blog also walks you through the steps to becoming a home health nurse, as well as the work experience and skills required for the job.
