Home Health (RN) – Per Diem

The goal is simple: give great nurses the tools and support to spend more of their attention nursing.

The Role

As an Alara RN, you’ll provide skilled nursing care in patients’ homes.

Many of our patients are medically complex adults, including former nuclear workers receiving healthcare benefits through the Department of Labor’s EEOICPA White Card program.

You’ll have the autonomy of field nursing with the clinical support of a nurse-led agency. We value nurses who know their patients, recognize changes early, communicate clearly, and follow important issues through.

What You’ll Do

• Complete comprehensive Start of Care assessments — no OASIS

• Provide ongoing skilled nursing visits and assessments

• Assess changes in condition and escalate concerns appropriately

• Perform medication reconciliation and patient education

• Provide wound care and other ordered skilled treatments

• Assess respiratory, cardiovascular, neurologic, functional, pain, and safety needs

• Educate patients and family caregivers

• Communicate with physicians and other members of the care team

• Coordinate care across disciplines and providers

• Contribute to and carry out the individualized plan of care

• Complete accurate, timely clinical documentation

• Follow significant clinical issues through to resolution

We’re looking for nurses with strong clinical judgment.

Technology supports your judgment. It doesn’t replace it.

And as one of Alara’s first nurses, you’ll join a small clinical team where communication is direct, leadership knows its nurses, and nurses have the support to do their jobs well.
