"There are no nurses there trying to bully you." I am so glad you brought that up, it is a real problem in nursing.

I NEVER comment on videos, but something you said stuck out. In your list of pros, you said you love learning about different people and used the example of having an Indian family and then a Japanese family and just enjoying learning about everyone. That right there. That’s that love and energy I was looking for in researching whether I wanted to pursue home health. I love your energy and your love for your work. Thank you for this video and your beautiful spirit❤️

I’ve been in home health for almost 4 years... I like the independence

[congerscott]

I did home health for a few years and couldn't stand it, didn't like taking people to doctor appointments, didn't like cooking for people, wasn't comfortable being around family members, you either like it or you don't, im more comfortable working in a hospital setting, a lot more work but the time goes by a lot faster, thanks for the great video 👍.

Mmm I experienced a toxic environment with one of the homes I went to. The parents always argued and the mom treated the sick kid poorly at times. It was beyond stressful to be there for 12 hrs. Then a situation happened where I was treated like trash by the parents, and I was like yeah this house is not for me at all. My supervisor respected my decision to leave and was totally understanding.
The other houses I've been to have been perfectly fine though. The families are usually very grateful to have you! Sometimes there are environments that are a hot mess but you have the freedom to decide if you want to work there or not.

Yesss! I just started home health care and I’m loving it! I’m a new mom too! Great video! Very helpful! Some of the comments you said I am noticing myself. All very true and also good heads up for me as it’s a whole new world from hospital nursing.

Mercy, thank you for sharing everything with us! I think I'm about to go into home health after 15 years of acute care positions (including leadership). I resonate with your reasons, such as avoiding the politics, the autonomy, and just enjoying other people and their lives (for those patients in which you can) in a more relaxed environment for them. Love your beautiful spirit, and although your make-up is incredible, your natural beauty don't need it. God has blessed you richly and may He continue to do so.

Excellent job of telling the way it is. I'm a retired RN - One of many jobs was providing home care under all kind of situations. the most unique situation was a college student ina dorm room on a venitlator and straw controlled wheelchair. Little did I know that my healthy, athlectic adult son would become severely disabled when I was ready to to retire. I already knew the flip side when we have had home nursing cna's in the home. I'll leave it at that except to say family and friends think it is so easy to hire an agency and have everything work well.

I work in home care, but on the rehab side (speech therapy). I've been thinking of doing a series on my channel about home care. Thanks for posting this.

I like the video! home health care is something I've never gotten into before being working in the nursing home, but I am moving to a different state and willing to give this a try. The ability to make your own schedule is what amazes me!

[janalively]

Omg girl you said it!! Bullies, politics. Drama NO THANKS!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[chrismurphy]

It is no surprise that family members hit on you. You are gorgeous!

After working in AL facility for 3 months & dealing with the drama, I went back to private duty & I’m sticking to it! I enjoy one on one caretaking & not worried about the call pendants going off at once (because the lazy coworkers don’t want to help)! I also don’t have to deal with racing to grab an available walkie from the previous shift!

[rosesrforever]

Mercy I agree with everything you said. In home care there is flexibility in your schedule and it's like you're your on boss. On every level you made good points. 👍👍🌹🌹😀.

[atypicall]

Sold! You’ve helped me make my decision. Thank you, thank you 💕.

I'm a non-medical home health aide. I work part time and out of town. What I like about home health is being in clients' homes since I myself am a home body. I like one-on-one care. Pets, yes, I'm fine with pets. I had a client that I worked had three dogs that I walked. First day there, one dog got out of her collar and ran! Praise the Lord I caught her. Smoking clients...I am sensitive to cigarettes, especially in doors. I had smoking clients despite telling agency no. These clients were so sweet, so I stayed with assignment. So I guess smoking is something negative in home care. I have not had a client who has medical marijuana card yet. That will be interesting especially for smoking. ☺. Yes, drive time is stressful, especially when taking clients to appointments. Going to appointments can be stressful if there clients that take more time to get ready. Then traffic and getting to the appointment on time. And often you use the client's car, so it takes time to adjust to each car. Yes, like you, I like meeting clients in their own homes. Yes, with split shifts are good for running errands or picking up another client. I hope to pick up more clients in rural areas.

I’m going into second year of nursing in Toronto, Canada. Glad I found your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[melissachaparro]

I was having a hard time choosing from lvn or rn and after this video I have decided LVN it is!!

[catdogmom]

As far as going into bad neighborhoods, thankfully my company actually has security guards that can escort you into homes in not so great neighborhoods if you’d like.
My company does have benefits for full time nurses.
I don’t have complete control over my schedule though. I have to see at least 6 patients a day and I’m assigned these patients daily. However, I do control what time in the day I see those 6 patients.
I wish I had got into visiting nursing sooner in my nursing career.

I found it very professional in depth. Cultural. Eyhnirc. Enlightening. Even though. I was just curious. To hear. Your. Speaking I
