Send us Fan MailIn this engaging episode, hosts Dan Haggerty, Brendan Kirby, Lisa Thompson, and Dan Catuccio welcome Josh Evers, a med-surg nurse turned home health professional with over 250,000 social media followers. Josh shares his transformative journey from seven years of hospital nursing, including three grueling years as a COVID nurse, to finding his true calling in home health after his wife literally filled out his application. What began as social media experimentation during the 2020 quarantine evolved into viral success, with some videos reaching 20 million views and earning public recognition. Josh passionately defends home health against "soft nursing" stereotypes, sharing powerful stories of meaningful patient relationships, including a patient who arranged for pastors to pray for Josh's autistic son and the deep connections formed over years of care. He candidly discusses the exhausting reality of balancing content creation with full-time nursing and family life, emphasizing that family always comes first. If his son wants to go fishing, the camera equipment waits. Josh's authentic personality shines through as he describes the independence and fulfillment of home health work, stating he wouldn't return to hospital nursing for any amount of money because he's finally found a job he truly loves. The episode highlights how home health allows for genuine patient relationships, personal growth, and the flexibility to pursue creative endeavors while maintaining meaningful healthcare work. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation that highlights the unique rewards of home health nursing and the opportunities that arise from pursuing your authentic path in the healthcare field.Connect with Josh Evers:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@josh_evers⁩  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/josh.evers.1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_evers_nurse/?hl=enThe Home Health Suit + Scrubs Podcast is your weekly dose of real talk for home health clinicians.
