Now in today’s blog post, I want to continue where I finished off last week. Last week’s blog post, I talked about that we are hiring Intensive Care nurses and Pediatric Intensive Care nurses here at Intensive Care at Home. And today, I want to talk about
What Is It Like to Work for Intensive Care at Home for Intensive Care Nurses and Pediatric Intensive Care Nurses?
So, I want to focus on our intensive care nurses and pediatric intensive care nurses that come to us and because they want to know, what is it like to work for Intensive Care at Home? Is it similar to working in ICU? They have all these questions piling up and I thought I’ll make a quick video about it, so hopefully to give you an insight, what is it like to work for us.
So, it’s probably fairly different compared to what you’re used to in intensive care. And the reason for that is simply, that a home care environment is very different. Yes, we do need your ICU and pediatric ICU nursing skills. No question about that. Most of our clients are at home on a ventilator with a tracheostomy after all. And as we all know, only intensive care nurses with a minimum of two years ICU experience can look after those patients safely, especially in a home care environment where there are fewer resources around and fewer staff around compared to an ICU setting.
But everything else is actually very different because you are in a family environment. You are in an environment that is highly, highly sensitive because obviously our clients and their families have high expectations. They want to make sure that you are the right fit for their home environment. They will test you quite frankly. They want to see whether you are the right fit, not only clinically, but also on a social and family level. Are you fitting in with the family dynamics and so forth? Those are really important points.
One thing that I underestimated for a long time is really, that it’s quite a big deal for the families having somebody new coming into their home. As much as the families need us, and they need you and your skills, the next biggest question for them is, are you the right fit for them and for their family environment? So, that is one of the major differences compared to ICU, because, in ICU you get allocated to a particular patient and then you do your shift and then when you’re back the next day, you might not even see that patient again.
Whereas in our environment, it’s all about repetition, it’s all about familiarity. Families want to know that if you sign up with us and if you are successful with us, that you are committed to the care you are giving to a particular client. They want to build a relationship with you. Most of our clients that we worked with, we have worked with for many years now, and we certainly have built strong relationships with them. That’s a result of having strong relationships between the families and the nurses that are working with those clients.
But just like with anything else, we also want to give you variety, which means, you could work with more than one client. Some of it depends on location of course. How far away are you from a particular client? That’s all coming into play...
