Nursing Beyond the Hospital: Making an Impact in Pediatric Home Care

Nursing Beyond the Hospital: Making an Impact in Pediatric Home Care

For nurses and caregivers, there’s no greater reward than helping a fragile child thrive—and watching a family grow stronger because of it.

In her recent byline for Healthcare Business Today, BAYADA Director Susan Ecker Sterner, RN, CSN, BA, shares how skilled in-home nursing plays a life-changing role in helping babies transition safely from the NICU to home.

This isn’t just care. It’s continuity, compassion, and clinical excellence brought into a child’s daily life.

As a pediatric home care nurse, you:
· Deliver critical tracheostomy and ventilator support at home

· Empower parents through teaching and hands-on training

· Help reduce hospital readmissions and promote long-term health

· Build lasting bonds with families as they adjust and grow

· Witness life-changing milestones—from first breaths to first birthdays

Jesse’s story—shared in Susie’s article—is just one example. Born at 26 weeks and medically fragile, Jesse came home with a trach, vent, and feeding tube. With a team of BAYADA nurses behind them, his parents gained the skills and confidence they needed. Today, Jesse is thriving in preschool.

If you're looking for more meaning in your nursing career, this is where it starts. Home care nursing blends advanced clinical skill with deep personal connection. And at BAYADA, you’ll be trained, supported, and inspired every step of the way.
