Nursing is a challenging and demanding profession to say the least. The nursing shortage doesn't help the situation and many days you wonder why you got in this profession in the first place. Of course, nursing was much different when we first started, wasn't it? We went to work, cared for patients, held hands of the sick and taught loved ones how to care for them when they went home.

I was asked by a Doctor at the hospital I worked for why I was leaving to work for Home Health because all you do then is drink tea and eat toast with little old ladies. What a joke that was! Nursing in any aspect is demanding and Home Health isn't any different.

Being a nurse isn't what I do, it's who I am and every day is another experience. Every day I learn something else new and I'm not the only one teaching. The patients and their families have taught me more than they'll ever know. So in order to keep up with the fast moving nursing profession, I read up on the newest articles, magazines and books. It's the best way to stay up to date on what's happening in this stressful and sometimes mind-boggling job.
