Pros
Home health is a rewarding career for a clinician. It allows you to help patients in their own environment. However, it is one of the hardest jobs I have done in my career as a nurse. The group of professionals I work with are caring, giving and work hard to met the demands of excessive paper work, long hours, and patients that are need of expert care for chronic illnesses. Amedisys offers education and support to meet requirements needed to care for such patients.
Cons
Amedisys does not plan for long term solutions. They develop job positions to take care of crisis situations. It seems once the crisis is over the jobs are downsized, rearranged, or whatever terminology is needed to change things again. The clinicians I work with give 110% of themselves to these job roles. I suppose one could say "Here today. Gone tomorrow."
