Licensed Practical Nurse - Home Health

Licensed Practical Nurse - Full Time Home Health

Join to apply for the Licensed Practical Nurse - Full Time Home Health role at Valley Health

The home health nurse provides direct patient care in the patient’s home environment as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes RN, PT, OT, speech, social work and home health techs. The nurse assesses patients and follows individualized care plans that best meet their needs as established by the RN. Direct, one‑on‑one patient care is delivered while communicating any changes in status to the RN Case Manager.

The agency relies heavily on technology; email is the primary means of communication and the nurse uses a laptop to complete documentation in an electronic record. Patients vary widely in acuity, age, and diagnosis. The nurse works under the direction of a clinical team manager and begins with a 6‑10 week orientation with a seasoned preceptor to ensure readiness to treat patients independently.

Additional duties include performance improvement, policy and procedure review, research, and other responsibilities as assigned.
