Choosing Home Health as a Specialty and Successfully Transitioning Into Home Health Nursing Practice

Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

This article describes components of a qualitative research study that investigated the process of how acute care nurses successfully transition into home health nursing practice. The sequences of activities in choosing home health as a specialty to practice and the phases of successful transition from acute care practice to home health practice are described. The sequence of activities and phases of successful transition were developed and grounded in the practice of 14 home health nurses. Implications for home health nursing practice, administration, and education are discussed.
