Returning to Home Health Nursing Question....See Below?



Hi, I am an LVN liscensed in the state of Texas. My liscense is currently active but I haven't worked (next month will be 2 yrs). I had stayed home caring for my son since he was born. My previous experience has been almost 2 yrs. of nursing. 1 year in a hospital and 1 1/2 years doing home health nursing. I worked both of these jobs at the same time. So total nursing experience would be 1 1/2 ys. My question is "Do you think I will have a problem getting hired back at a home health agency"? The Texas Board of Nursing states that I don't need a refresher course unless I've been out of work for 4yrs or more. Like I said it's only been 2 for me. I am in California at the moment, but plan on returning back to work next May when we move back to Texas. I understand that I won't be able to get back in the hospital where I was, I'd rather do home health anyway. If anyone is a home health director and can answer my questions that would be great! Thanks!

I am sorry i live in the uk so dont know your regs over there.
I will say this, go to a college or university and ask for some advice. They should be more than willing to help with your career question, the more people to work the better.
If not have you some job centre thing like we have in uk that gives help and advice, anyone like that they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I am sorry i cant be of more help but good luck and well done for being positive in getting back to work.
All the best take care.
