RN Home Health

A Home Health Registered Nurse (RN) provides skilled nursing care to patients in their homes, typically those recovering from illness, surgery, or managing chronic conditions. The focus of the role is to offer personalized, compassionate care in a home setting, ensuring patients receive the appropriate medical attention while maintaining their independence and comfort.

Key Responsibilities:

• Comprehensive Patient Evaluation: Conduct thorough assessments of each patient’s health, including physical, emotional, and mental well-being, to create an individualized care plan.
• Developing and Implementing Care Plans: Work closely with physicians, family members, and other healthcare professionals to design and execute a personalized care plan tailored to each patient's unique needs.
• Clinical Care and Treatment: Administer medications, monitor treatments, and perform hands-on procedures like wound care, injections, and catheter management.
• Vital Signs Monitoring: Regularly track patients' vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels, identifying any changes or signs of concern.
• Patient and Family Education: Provide essential education to patients and their families about managing health conditions, understanding treatment plans, and using medical equipment.
• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate and detailed records of patient progress, treatment outcomes, and any changes in health status. Document interventions and communicate findings with other healthcare providers.
• Care Coordination: Collaborate with doctors, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers to ensure seamless care, coordinating services and monitoring patient progress.
• Emergency Response and Crisis Management: Provide emergency care when needed and make referrals to appropriate resources if patients’ needs exceed home care capabilities.

Required Qualifications:

• Licensing: Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing.
• Education: Nursing degree from an accredited institution (ADN or BSN).
• Experience: Clinical experience as an RN, with preference given to those with home health or acute care experience.
• Skills: Strong clinical judgment, excellent communication abilities, and the capacity to work independently while managing multiple cases.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to perform physical tasks, including lifting, moving, and assisting patients, as well as walking or traveling between home visits.

Work Environment:

• Travel: Daily travel is required, as the nurse will visit multiple homes. Many agencies provide transportation or mileage reimbursement.
