As necessary, important, and life-changing as in-home nursing can be, there’s nothing simple about it. While there are a ton of benefits, there are some really tough parts too. It’s an added layer of administration to deal with, extra personalities in your home to handle, more routines to train, and can come with a lack of personal space. And acknowledging those downsides can feel tricky too, when many families don’t have access to nursing at all.
In Ep 139 of the Rare Life, I sit down with Brooke Teremi, Caitlin Castro, and Nicole Dennis, all of whom have or had in-home nursing care, to discuss many of the harder parts of in-home nursing, and why so many of these issues are systemic instead of individual problems.
If you have in-home nursing and feel like you need a little vent sesh, this is the episode for you.
