As the location of health care delivery continues to shift from inpatient settings into the community understanding the experience of the home care workforce is important. Challenges related to recruitment and retention of nurses in home care has resulted in agencies hiring new graduate nurses. While Extensive research exists exploring experiences of new graduates in hospital settings, experiences of new graduates in home care are not well understood. Given the contextual differences between hospital and home care, research exploring new graduate nurses' experiences in the home care sector is warranted. A phenomenological approach was used. Deciding if home care is right for me emerged as a way of understanding new graduate nurses' experiences in home care.
