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.
Home health nurses and clinical nurse specialists work primarily for home health care agencies. They may work directly with patients or serve as administrators or policy developers. They may also work in hospitals and other settings as consultants and educators.
