Are home care nurses professionally challenged in the home care setting?
A Generally, registered nurses are very satisfied with the complexity of their caseloads. As a matter of fact, many registered nurses suggest they are more challenged because they often have to think on their feet and respond quickly to clinical and interpersonal circumstances not usually found in other healthcare settings. They tend to experience more fulfilling and rewarding patient relationships, and often work more closely with physicians. The home care nurse also functions as a member of an interdisciplinary team, and is frequently viewed as the patient’s “care manager.
