Home Health Nursing is the perfect fit for someone who wants to spend quality one on one time caring for their patients and educating patients and families.  You will have the opportunity to see patients in their own homes and help them make changes that can have a huge impact on the quality of their lives. 

A Home Health RN primarily sees patients in a specific area of town, our excellent compensation package includes time spent in the home, documentation and drive time plus mileage paid at the federal rate.  Our home health agency prides itself on quality care of our patients and our staff. 

If you’re organized and self-motivated, Home Health is a great for RN’s with kids in school, or those who love nursing and want to step away from 12 hour shifts in inpatient care.  We can offer flexibility with shifts and minimal weekends; or for those who love working weekends to save on daycare expenses, we have those shifts available as well.
