About The Position

Giving Home Health Care has been supporting individuals impacted by health conditions related to their work in nuclear facilities for the Department of Energy since 2012. With a focus on personalized, in-home care, we are committed to assisting those who have dedicated their careers to these vital roles. As a fast-growing, leading provider, we proudly serve patients across Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. We are looking for a compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse (RN) in Branson, MO to administer patient care in accordance with a physician established care plan. This role is a 1099 contract opportunity, with care being provided at the patient’s residence. Patient needs range from weekly hours to 24-hour care, allowing for multiple scheduling options. Patients range from high acuity to those who only need basic medical management. Once patients are accepted into the program, there is no expiration for this benefit, which allows our team of caregivers to build lasting relationships with their patients for years to come. You’ll get to advocate for the patients and work one-on-one to provide them with the care that they need. This role will collaborate with CNA’s, HHA’s, Case Managers, and the patient’s physicians. The patient values independence and prefers to remain actively involved in his daily routines, manage his own vital signs and organize his own medical equipment. The patient appreciates caregivers who respect his personal systems and home organization preferences and is sensitive to loud noises; housekeeping tasks such as vacuuming may require accommodation. There is a strong preference for maintaining privacy and control over medication management. The ideal candidate is reliable, professional, and confident, able-bodied and comfortable assisting with mobility and outdoors activities, with strong communication skills and professional boundaries. They should be flexible, patient, and able to adapt to individualized care preferences, and comfortable working in a smoking environment. Prior home health, hospice, or DOL experience is preferred but not required. Offers are contingent upon passing a background check.
