About The Position

PruittHealth @ Home is hiring a Registered Nurse to provide and coordinate skilled nursing care to home health patients under physician supervision. This part-time position offers a flexible schedule and gives special consideration to applicants who live in or can commute to Lexington, Richland, and Kershaw Counties. The role uses a pay-per-point compensation model, with higher point values for visits requiring greater effort. The RN provides competent nursing interventions, evaluates patients and initiates start-of-care services, monitors clinical outcomes, and coordinates care with the interdisciplinary team and attending physician. The RN also supervises Home Health Aides and assigned Licensed Practical Nurses, educates patients and families, and assesses, documents, and reports patient progress using required documentation and technology. Documentation must be timely, accurate, and completed at the point of care. The clinician is expected to respect patient rights, follow physician-approved care plans, comply with company and safety requirements, maintain current licensure and clinical records, meet agency productivity standards, and participate in surveys, in-services, case conferences, staff meetings, and performance improvement programs as required. The position requires self-direction, effective prioritization and time management, and the ability to meet outcomes and deadlines.
