Open Shifts varying between (8hour Shifts): Monday - Friday 0730 - 2400 (with rotating weekends)

American River Home Care is hiring experienced Registered Nurses to provide shift-style in-home care to patients who need more than just traditional home health. Our Advance Care at Home program brings hospital-level attention into the comfort and safety of a patient's home.

What You'll Do:

• Provide routine and PRN nursing visits—just like on a med-surg floor, but in a home setting.

• Serve as the clinical lead in managing patient care plans and communicating changes.
• Work shift-style schedules, including every other weekend.
• Use your critical thinking and assessment skills daily—this is not intermittent home health.
• Build deep relationships with patients and families while improving outcomes.

What We're Looking For:

• Active RN license in California
• Med-Surg experience is preferred (1–2+ years)
• Home health or hospice experience is a plus, but not required
• Must be comfortable working independently in the field
• Strong communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance
• Willingness to cover PRN needs and work every other weekend
