Averel Carby is a Registered Nurse who has been a leader in home health care for over 15 years. She is presently an entrepreneur in that field of nursing, as educator and consultant to group home providers and their staff. Averel chose nursing after working for many years in administration for several prominent businesses. The decision to become a nurse evolved from a desire to extend herself to care for others. She worked in the areas of Post Anesthesia Care (PACU), and Acute Rehabilitation. However, she quickly realized that the hospital setting did not allow her to spend quality time with patients. Running in and out of patients' rooms made it almost impossible for Averel to provide the holistic nursing care her patients deserved. Averel Carby moved on from the hospital setting to become a nurse Care Coordinator, providing coordination of care to pediatric patients with medical challenges in the community. Most of her interactions with the parents and families of these medically challenged pediatric patients were via phone, and sometimes in person. This gave Averel the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many families. She provided access to medical specialists in the community, scheduled a wide range of procedures at various hospitals and diagnostic facilities, and generally coordinated the health care necessary for the clients, based upon periodic assessment of needs. However, her love of home health care nursing led her to make the decision to focus all her attention in this area. And it was no surprise when the thought of becoming an entrepreneur entered her mind that Averel chose home health care. She knew she had the knowledge, competence, and expertise in the delivery of nursing care over the years, to patients in their homes, to be an asset as educator and consultant. Her website is www.allhealthacademy.com. All Health Academy (AHA) is an education and resource portal for members of the home health care nursing community. AHA seeks to educate nurses about home health care, how to start a home health care business, and joins the conversation about nursing knowledge, passion, family values, the economy, and many more hot topics.
