How do you start your day?
Like most jobs, nursing often starts with a cup of coffee and a good breakfast. Our nurses double check their nursing bag and head to their patient’s house. When they arrive, the first thing they do is check in with the off-going nurse or parent to see how things are going.
Depending on the patient’s needs, the morning will often consist of getting the patient ready for the day. This can include dressing, changing diapers, brushing teeth, preparing medication, feeding, checking vitals, and assessing the patient. Our nurses are sure to check in with the patient, asking how they are feeling, even if they are nonverbal.
Our patients have a wide variety of medical needs and range from infants to teenagers. Many of our homecare nurses have different experiences, however their main job remains the same – to provide high-quality care. Our nurses spend a lot of time assessing their patient and documenting any events that may occur.
Why Pediatric Homecare?
There are many reasons why nursing is a fulfilling career. When you can work with children who have complex medical needs and allow them to live life at home, you are giving them their life back. The impact goes beyond the patient – it extends to the parents and family as well. It takes caregiving off of the parents’ shoulders and allows them to just be parents and enjoy their children.
