LPN Field Nurse | Home Health Patient Care
About The Position
As an LPN Visit Nurse, you will have the opportunity to see how patients are actually managing their health at home, which is difficult to understand from a hospital room or nurses' station. You will travel throughout a territory centered around where you live, providing scheduled skilled nursing visits within approximately a 35-mile radius of your home. Instead of spending your entire shift inside one facility, you'll move throughout your local community. You will drive to a patient, provide the care they need, educate the patient or caregiver, document the visit, and then head to your next home. You'll have independence throughout your day while remaining connected to experienced RN Case Managers, Clinical Managers, physicians, therapists, and interdisciplinary clinicians. Your goal is to help make sure the patient's care continues working after you leave.
