Description
We’re growing, and we’re looking for a great nurse to grow with us!
We are looking for a compassionate, dependable, and organized Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Home Health team.
Our nurses have the opportunity to provide individualized care where patients are most comfortable; their own homes. Home health nursing allows you to build relationships with patients and families while using your clinical judgment, assessment skills, and nursing experience to help patients recover, remain safe, and become as independent as possible.
We have a great team that truly cares about the people we serve, and we are looking for a nurse who will bring that same level of compassion and commitment to our patients.
What You’ll Do:
As a Home Health RN, you will provide skilled nursing care and coordinate services for patients receiving care in their homes.
- Perform initial and ongoing comprehensive nursing assessments.
- Develop, implement, evaluate, and update individualized plans of care in collaboration with physicians and other members of the care team.
- Provide skilled nursing services according to physician orders and the established plan of care.
- Monitor patients for changes in condition and communicate concerns promptly to physicians and other appropriate members of the care team.
- Provide patient and caregiver education regarding medications, disease management, treatments, safety, and self-care.
- Perform skilled nursing procedures and treatments within the RN scope of practice.
- Complete OASIS assessments, reassessments, resumptions of care, transfers, discharges, and other required documentation accurately and within required timeframes.
- Coordinate services with Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Medical Social Work, Home Health Aides, physicians, and other healthcare providers.
- Obtain and process physician orders and communicate changes in the patient’s needs or plan of care.
- Help patients and caregivers understand their care plan and work toward their individualized goals.
- Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation for each visit.
- Supervise LPNs and Home Health Aides as appropriate.
- Participate in care conferences, quality improvement activities, and team communication.
- Participate in the on-call rotation as scheduled.
- Follow agency policies, professional nursing standards, and applicable home health requirements.
What We’re Looking For:
- Current Registered Nurse license in the State of Utah.
- Graduate of an approved professional nursing program.
- Nursing experience preferred; home health experience is a plus.
- Strong nursing assessment and clinical judgment skills.
- Ability to work independently and make appropriate clinical decisions in the home setting.
- Strong organization, time-management, and prioritization skills.
- Excellent communication and patient-education skills.
- Comfortable coordinating care with physicians, therapists, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals.
- Ability to complete accurate and timely clinical documentation.
- Experience with OASIS is preferred, or a willingness to learn.
- Dependable, flexible, and committed to providing excellent patient care.
- Current driver’s license, reliable transportation, and automobile insurance.
The Kind of Nurse We Hope to Find:
Clinical experience matters, but how you care for people matters just as much to us.
We are looking for a nurse who sees the person, not just the diagnosis. Someone who takes the time to educate a patient who is nervous about managing a new condition, notices the small change that may prevent a hospitalization, communicates when something doesn’t look right, and celebrates the progress patients make along the way.
Home health nurses work independently in the field, but that doesn’t mean they should feel like they are on their own. We want someone who communicates with the team, asks for help when needed, and is willing to offer that same support to their coworkers.
Why Join Our Team?
We are hiring because we are growing. As more patients in our community choose us for their home health care, we are thoughtfully expanding our clinical team so we can continue providing the quality of care our patients deserve.
Our goal isn’t simply to complete visits. We want to help our patients recover safely, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, regain independence, and achieve the best possible quality of life at home.
You’ll be joining a team of people who genuinely care about their patients and about doing things the right way.
If you’re an RN who enjoys using your clinical skills, values independence and teamwork, and wants to make a meaningful difference in your patients’ lives, we would love to meet you.
