About The Position

This is a PRN-only RN Case Manager (RNCM) position with our agency. We are seeking an experienced RN Case Manager interested in building a long-term employment relationship by consistently accepting and executing RNCM and recertification visits and weekly medicine setups as needs arise. The role also involves providing in-office State Survey support as needed (1-2x/year) in our Perrysburg/Toledo Office, under the guidance of our Northwest Ohio Administrator.

Contractors / Contracted Arrangements will also be considered. RNs with nights-only and weekends-only availability cannot be considered. The role requires a mix of RNCM services and recertification visits, including travel, as needed to all clients across the far-West Northwestern Ohio region.

For those pursuing career growth, a defined path for advancement to Full-Time RNCM, Assistant Program Administrator, Program Administrator, Clinical Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON or Asst.

The result is that HCN nurses and aides benefit from being surrounded by competent and happy peers, satisfied clients, and competitive pay that promotes both personal and professional growth. Together, we can empower our patients and their families with the independence they deserve - while you make a difference in an agency where you matter. To support our growth and the increasing volume of client care throughout Indiana, we are seeking a highly skilled, experienced, accountable, and self-motivated home health PRN RN Case Manager (or Contractor) to join our agency in a long-term employment capacity and serve existing and new clients in the greater Northwest Ohio Region and surrounding areas. This position requires travel to multiple counties but offers a consistent weekday/daytime schedule range to fit personal / family commitments (no overnight shifts or overnight travel). This is a PRN position with a long-term employment opportunity that can be built to fit your schedule (travel up to 2 hours is required). As an RN Case Manager, you will be instrumental in coordinating and providing patient care and ensuring optimal outcomes. With core skills in managed care, patient assessment, client care and treatment plan documentation, and discharge planning, you will oversee patient services and provide expert nursing care. Your premium skills in critical care and infectious disease care will be valuable in handling complex cases, while your relevant skills in home and community care and supervising experience will enhance your ability to lead and support a multidisciplinary team.
