Registered Nurse - Home Health High Tech

Department Description: Our High Technology Nursing program provides skilled, compassionate in-home nursing for patients who require around-the-clock care with advanced medical technology. Our nurses rotate through care on an assigned shift rotation consisting of both 8- and 10-hour shifts.

We also provide high-level care to patients who sustained life-threatening illnesses or injuries in the past, often following trauma or major surgery. We monitor and manage these patients by operating complex equipment, administering medication, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

Even though you work independently in the home, you're never alone; your manager and care team are only a phone call away. We believe in taking care of our nurses, so they can take care of our patients.
