RN - Hospital at Home - Full Time Days (7am-7pm)
About The Position
Virtua Health is introducing an innovative "Hospital from Home" (H@H) program, a technology-driven care model that allows patients to receive medical-surgical level care safely in their homes. This program offers a more personal interaction for nurses compared to traditional floor settings. Patients are carefully selected based on criteria set by physicians, nurses, and administrators, either during an existing admission or directly from the Emergency Room. The H@H program enables patients to recover in their familiar environment. Nurses in this program will make two visits per day (or more as needed) to assess patients, administer medications, provide education, and perform other nursing interventions. Mileage and necessary equipment will be provided, and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) will be sent to the home prior to discharge. This is an on-site position requiring travel within the surrounding communities of Virtua's five acute care hospitals, with some work also performed at the Hospital at Home Command Center.
