About The Position

The Home Health Registered Nurse (RN) plays a critical role as the agency's first responder, delivering nursing care to clients across BrightStar Care's service area, including Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Medina counties. This nurse ensures continuity of care during urgent coverage needs, new client onboarding, and high priority cases. While some shifts may be consistent, the role is inherently dynamic and requires flexibility, proactive communication, and a commitment to excellence in both clinical care and interpersonal skills. This position will be a good fit for someone who is flexible, hard-working and very creative in solving problems; someone who doesn't mind rolling up his/her sleeves and does whatever it takes to take care of our people! We're a small business with a big personality and we're hoping to find a very special Registered Nurse: A one-of-a-kind nurse with a unique mix of clinical experience, confidence, business acumen and career goals. We like to have fun in our office-our culture is casual and family-oriented. If we tease you, it means we really like you! :) After a hard day of work, you'll find us at Happy Hour laughing with (and at) each other. If you think you could be a good fit, then we invite you to come work with us and see how BrightStar Care nurses uphold A Higher Standard!
