About The Position

Here at Delta Homecare we provide our patients with the ability to remain safely in their home while providing quality care and comfort. This position is ideal for Nurses (RN's & LPNs) that want a change of pace from the hospital or clinical settings and have the flexibility back in their schedule. It is good for someone looking for part time work or for someone looking for work to fit around their schedule at another job and could be great for retired nurses. This is a Contract- 1099 position. It is a part time position that could grow into full time depending on how many clients are in your area or depending on how far you are willing to travel.
