The home
health nurse also exhibits organization. In the other environments
nurses can rely on others to make phone calls, hand them
a specific document,
collect a specimen etc. All the needed papers for accurate
documentation, and
the needed equipment for proper treatment, must be carried
in by the home
health nurse as she goes into her patient’s home. Having
to run back and forth
to her/his car can be very costly, lengthy, and hazardous.
The home health
nurse has to rely solely on self: there is no teamwork
seen here; therefore, this
nurse must be proficient in a broad range of care.
