PRN Licensed Practical Nurse Home Health
About The Position
The Home Health Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) Per Diem works under the supervision of a Registered Nurse to provide skilled nursing care to patients in their homes. The nurse verifies the plan of care with the RN before each visit, collaborates with the physician and RN to address patient needs, and reports changes in patient condition promptly. The role includes teaching patients and caregivers self-care techniques, checking vital signs, reviewing medications and completing medication reconciliation, and performing physician-ordered specialized procedures. The nurse also prepares equipment and materials using aseptic technique and completes documentation accurately and on time. The position is paid through a combination of per-visit-point compensation for visits and hourly pay for certain non-visit activities, such as orientation. Visits are assigned based on patient and business needs, and weekly visit volume may vary. The stated annual total cash target pay assumes full-time employment at 40 hours per week and full productivity; this is a compensation assumption and does not change the role’s stated per-diem status.
