Greetings to everyone!!

I'm currently working as RN Case Manager/Clinical Supervisor for a private HHA. My background as a RN is 10 yrs in HHC nursing; private et non-profit and 7 yrs psych both acute and LT. Prior to that, I started my way up from CNA, CMA, LPN to RN over the past 32 yrs. I have much respect for those who have endeavored the ever changing field of nursing through the years and welcome with open arms the young people entering this field today!!!

Hi,
I have a few questions about Home Health nursing. I've been out of nursing for ten years due to Asthma. My background is critical care, CCRN and also a Case Manager for about a year. I am returning to nursing and would like to practice home health nursing once again. I am hoping to find information about " Certifications" for home care nursing.
Any direction that anyone could offer would be appreciated. My license will be in the mail this week
Noreen

Msirish, thanks for the post! I'll see what I can dig up for you, and post it to the Forum.

Just to be curious, are you an APN?
