For Nurses New To Home Care

Course overview

More than 60% of RNs are employed in acute care settings. The need for home care nurses will continue to grow as the U.S. population ages and the number of chronic conditions that the elderly must manage increases, which will help them stay out of acute care facilities and reduce rehospitalization. This continuing education activity will provide you with an overview of homecare nurse practice and introduce to another career option. If you are an acute care nurse, this activity will help you understand how a referral to home care can benefit patients who qualify for home healthcare services.
