The home healthcare nurse is not just a care provider but also a teacher and an advocate for the client and their family. The nurse may have to intervene to mobilize resources of the community or a hospital to provide patient appropriate care. Home health nurses have first-hand knowledge of the burdens of caregiving.
Some registered nurses oversee licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants, and home health aides. Registered nursesâ duties and titles often depend on where they work and the patients they work with. For example, an oncology nurse may work with cancer patients or a geriatric nurse may work with elderly patients.
