As a Registered Nurse Case Manager (RNCM) you will make a difference in the lives of our patients. Our nurses give our patients the greatest gift – the ability to spend enhanced quality time with their loved ones in their preferred environment. You will provide one-on-one patient care and work at the top of your license. You will utilize your leadership skills in coordinating care and provide home-based nursing care for patients as directed by an attending physician.

You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team that focuses on compassionate, quality care and positive outcomes for your patient population. You will interact with patients  families while caring for patients and be part of every step of their recovery journey. Home care provides context and real-world perspective about what will really help patients restore their health.

We make it easy to do your job and offer competitive financial incentives. On a pay-per-visit model, the more visits you make, the more you will earn. We pay mileage and have bonus opportunities. Our schedules are flexible, and you’ll have the support of a whole team, from scheduling to patient admissions. Our benefits package is competitive and includes medical, dental, and vision insurance with flexibility to select what works best for you.

Eligible teammates will also receive paid time off, participate in 401k, company-paid life insurance, and access to a robust Employee Assistance Program.

You’ll assume ultimate accountability and leadership for the assessment of the patient condition and plan of care. You will case manage and provide clinical care under the direction of the physician. You’ll educate patients and family members and ensure patient safety. You will work autonomously, so you need to be efficient in managing your time. You’ll be responsible for all practices and duties within the scope of practice outlined by the state.
