Position Summary
The LVN Runner provides real-time clinical phone coverage and performs PRN (as‑needed) patient visits during evening hours. This role bridges gaps in the visit schedule — covering call‑offs, urgent patient needs, and same‑day requests — while triaging incoming clinical calls and routing them appropriately under RN and Medical Director oversight.
Key Responsibilities
- Answer and triage incoming clinical calls from patients, families, and caregivers during business hours
- Assess symptoms/concerns by phone and determine urgency; elevate to the on‑call RN, Case Manager, or Medical Director as needed
- Perform PRN visits, including but not limited to: symptom management, wound care, medication administration, vital signs, and general nursing assessment
- Cover unplanned visit gaps (RN/LVN call‑offs, same‑day admission needs, urgent family requests)
- Document all calls and visits accurately and timely in the EMR per agency policy
- Communicate visit findings and care plan updates to the primary Case Manager/RN
- Coordinate with scheduling/intake staff on same‑day visit assignments
- Maintain compliance with hospice regulations, infection control standards, and agency policies
Qualifications
- Active LVN license in good standing
- Minimum 1–2 years clinical experience; hospice or home health experience strongly preferred
- Comfortable with phone‑based triage and independent field visits
- Reliable transportation; valid driver's license and auto insurance
- Strong communication and prioritization skills — this role requires shifting between phone coverage and field visits throughout the day
Physical Requirements
- Ability to travel to patient homes/facilities within the service area
- Ability to lift/carry supplies (up to ~25 lbs) and perform hands‑on nursing care
