• Teach and counsel patients and families on the nursing care needs of care at home
• Document every visit accurately and completely in the visit report
• Evaluate with your supervising RN how each patient's care is progressing
• Join staff meetings, patient care conferences, and in-services, and help bring in PT, OT, or SLP when a patient needs them

What we are looking for

• Current, active California Licensed Vocational Nurse license, in good standing with the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians
• Graduate of a state-approved school of practical (vocational) nursing
• One year of nursing experience is a plus; we welcome strong candidates at every experience level
• Sound, independent judgment and the initiative to act on it
• Current CPR/BLS certification (online certification is accepted with in-person verification of competency)
• For infusion visits: California IV therapy and blood withdrawal certification
• Reliable transportation to reach patients' homes across the counties we serve; if you drive your own vehicle for work, personal automobile insurance meeting California requirements, with proof on file
• Ability to travel to patient homes, to stand, bend, and lift as patient care requires
• Willingness to complete a background check, exclusion-list screening, and health screening, including TB screening, before patient contact
