The Role

We’re looking for a skilled, compassionate Registered Nurse to step into a dual‑function hybrid role at Abby Care—combining hands‑on patient case management with clinical education and caregiver training.

Based in State College, PA, you will serve as an RN Case Manager, coordinating comprehensive care for a diverse patient caseload, while also taking on a Clinical Instructor function, preparing the next generation of Home Health Aides and contributing to our curriculum and training programs.

This is a rare opportunity for a nurse who wants to make an impact at both ends of the care continuum, delivering care and building the workforce that delivers it. You’ll report to the Associate Director of Nursing and collaborate closely with clinical teams, PCPs, family caregivers, and HHA students.

• Coordinate with PCPs and internal teams for comprehensive care.
• Coach and oversee HHAs to ensure adherence to clinical standards.
• Educate patients and families on health needs and treatment plans.

Clinical Documentation

• Maintain accurate and timely electronic charting, with a preference for real‑time documentation.
• Ensure all documentation meets regulatory and Abby Care standards, with a minimum of 24‑hour turnaround time.
• Complete administrative tasks (e.g., mileage reimbursements) thoroughly.

HHA Training & Instruction

• Design and implement skill training classes for HHA students.
• Support students during in‑person training at long‑term care facilities.
• Collaborate with clinical team to develop additional learning modules.
• Enhance students’ clinical skills and medical knowledge through creative curriculum.

Quality & Communication

• Build effective relationships with PCPs and internal teams.
• Escalate issues to Clinical Leads appropriately and promptly.
• Participate in on‑call rotation (~1 weekend/month) and holiday coverage.
• Monitor and improve patient readmission rates and caregiver satisfaction.

The Requirements

• Associate’s or Baccalaureate degree in Nursing.
• Current, valid RN license in PA or Compact/Multi‑state unencumbered license.
• 2+ years clinical RN experience.
• 1+ year home health experience.
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance.
• Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation packages that reflect the value you bring. Full‑time employees are eligible for an annual company performance bonus.
• Comprehensive health coverage that works for you. Choose from high‑quality medical, dental and vision options, including a $0 deductible PPO and a company‑funded HSA, alongside employer‑paid life and disability insurance.
• Generous paid time off. We provide policies that allow you to recharge along with 10 paid company holidays.
• Financial savings benefits to support your future. We support your financial well‑being with HSA contributions, optional FSA and commuter benefits, and full coverage of all 401(k) account fees (employer match not currently offered).
• Paid parental leave. We provide paid leave so you can focus on bonding and adjusting to life as your family grows.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, consistent with applicable laws. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, satisfactory references, and any required documentation.
