Why Skills and Certification is Important for Home Health Service Nurses

When you are looking for a home healthcare facility for your loved one, the very first thing you keep in mind is to get the highest quality services for your family member.

 One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at Vanessa Home Health Services is whether our nursing staff is skilled and certified.  Here we will share the recruitment procedure we apply for nurses:

1. There are certain levels of home health nursing. Regardless of the level, Vanessa home health nurses must value autonomy, individualized care, and family-centered care.
2. Registered nurses must complete an accredited nursing program and obtain either an associate’s degree in nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science degree (BSN). They must also pass the NCLEX exam for licensure.
3. Because our nursing staff work within patients’ homes, they receive their assignment from our Patient Care Coordinators and then drive to patients’ home to perform the specified nursing care as ordered by the physician.
4. Based on their credentials, our nursing staff perform a variety of tasks, which are listed here. Skills from many different specialties are also necessary in the field of home health:

• Medical- surgical
• Mental health
• Gerontology
• Pediatrics
• Community/ public health

Integrating these skills as well as performing task-based services are part of Vanessa Home Health Services.
