Start of Care RN (Admissions Nurse) – Home Health Field Role
About The Position
If you’re an RN who enjoys leading the clinical picture, making high-level decisions, and setting patients up for success from day one, this role puts you in that seat. As the Admissions Nurse, you are the clinical quarterback, guiding the start of care and ensuring every patient begins with a clear, safe, and effective plan. This is ideal for nurses who want to step into a more strategic, assessment-driven role without moving into management. This role allows you to own the admission process from start to finish, giving you full visibility and control over how each patient begins their care journey. You will step into a clinical leadership role in the field, making real-time decisions that shape outcomes without being tied to a desk. You will focus on high-level assessments rather than task-based visits, allowing you to fully use your clinical judgment and experience. You will be the trusted first point of contact for patients and families, setting expectations and building confidence in the care plan. You will work within an established, high-volume referral network, ensuring consistent opportunity and steady workflow.
