More about Journey Nursing Services

The organization provides personalized and holistic nursing services across multiple community settings, including private homes, Adult Family Homes (AFHs), and Assisted Living Communities. Their core service offerings include private duty nursing, Nurse Delegation, and nursing pool services. The organization is currently expanding and seeking Full-Time or Part-Time Registered Nurses to join their team. RNs at Journey Nursing Services work across a variety of community-based settings, managing a small case load that includes RN Delegation and Private Duty Nursing patients. Key responsibilities include establishing care plans, completing skilled nursing visits, providing float delegation coverage for the nursing team, and offering RN coverage to the assisted living communities they support. This is a non-traditional nursing environment that requires versatility and autonomy, as nurses work across multiple locations rather than in a single fixed facility. The small case load model suggests a more personalized approach to patient care compared to high-volume facility-based nursing, though it also requires nurses to manage travel logistics and adapt to different care settings.

The organization emphasizes personalized and holistic nursing care, indicating a patient-centered philosophy that prioritizes individualized treatment plans and comprehensive care delivery across community settings. The focus on private duty and delegated nursing suggests a commitment to supporting patients in maintaining independence in home and community-based environments.
