In this episode of the Care in Motion Podcast, the two Dans, Lisa, and Brendan were joined by special guest Tiffanie, an LPN with seven years of home health experience in South Carolina.

"Scrubs vs. Suits: Home Health from Two Sides of the Chart" explores the daily life of a home health nurse, from Tiffanie's preference for early 8 AM visits to managing 7-9 patients daily while specializing in wound care.

The group discusses essential equipment (including her emergency Biofreeze mask hack!), car necessities, and the challenges of coordinating care across disciplines. Tiffanie emphasizes the importance of team communication through group chats, the frustrations of delayed provider responses, and her recent wound care certification.

The conversation highlights the unique demands of home health nursing and Tiffanie's key advice for success: maintaining confidence when working independently and building strong relationships with both patients and the care team. Whether you're a seasoned home health professional or considering entering the field, this episode offers practical wisdom from the nursing perspective.
