Once upon a time, patients recovering from surgeries or serious illness once spent weeks confined to a hospital bed. These days more and more of them are being sent home early. There are a variety of reasons for the early discharge, including the superior care provided in hospitals today that enables patients to have their conditions stabilized much quicker and the frequent shortage of bed space within many facilities. One reason that often gets overlooked, however, is the availability of home health care nursing specialists who can provide treatment within the patient's home environment.
The existence of home health nursing is in large measure the result of advancements in medical technology that have made it possible for many of the more complex medical treatments to be performed outside of the hospital environment. Clinical nursing specialists are specifically trained to take advantage of this technology as they assist patients with treatments for a host of injuries, diseases, and other ailments. Many of these home health nurses specialize even further and become experts on providing care in the home for patients suffering from very specific disorders like cancer and diabetes, or with complex physical rehabilitation needs.CNA TrainingNursingCNA Trainingguide
