The New Normal: How Home Care Nurses Make All the Difference The
role of the home care nurse has taken on an additional layer of
urgency during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during surges when
people of all backgrounds - whatever their level of illness or risk
- strived to avoid hospitals and doctors' offices."Home care is a
special branch of nursing that changes you in ways you never
thought possible, You get to see firsthand how you've improved
lives for the better. I entered home care nursing for the
flexibility it provided me as a parent, but I stayed because it was
so rewarding. There's no structure or politics of a hospital
setting. You get to use a wide range of skills for each patient and
situation. While functioning very autonomously, you'll still have
all the connectivity, tools and collaborative resources needed at
any given time. It's also been a strong step in my career path here
at VNS Health. I'm a Nurse Preceptor now, but I still go into the
field when I can, for the real-life teaching applications and for
my love of it." We are the future of care. We are VNS Health.
