Job description

For those who want to invent the future of health care, here’s your opportunity. We’re going beyond basic care to health programs integrated across the entire continuum of care. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

We are currently offering a $10,000 sign on bonus for full time external candidates

As an RN with our Palliative Care team, you’ll wear many hats and work in a variety of environments. Sometimes, you’ll interact with members leaving the hospital - possibly with new medications or diagnoses. Or perhaps you’ll perform home visits, assisting members with safe, effective transitions from care environments to where they live. You may also act as an intermediary between providers and members - serving in numerous roles, such as educator, evaluator, service coordinator, community resource researcher and more. The result? Fewer hospitalizations, ER visits and costly service gaps; and a less stressed, more effective health care system for us all. Want more flexibility, want more autonomy? Work from your own home and coordinate a visiting schedule that is mutually beneficial to you and the members we serve.

What makes your clinical career greater with UnitedHealth Group? You’ll work within an incredible team culture; a clinical and business collaboration that is learning and evolving every day. And, when you contribute, you’ll open doors for yourself that simply do not exist in any other organization, anywhere.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Provide a complete continuum of quality care through close communication with patients via in-person or phone interaction
• Support patients with condition education, medication reviews and connections to resources such as Home Health Aides or Meals on Wheels
• Visit patients in their homes to discuss goals and available resources
• Use a team approach to address the needs of patients and their families, including bereavement counseling, if indicated
• Offer a support system to help the family help during patients’ illness and in their own bereavement
• Provide relief from pain and distressing symptoms
• Other responsibilities as assigned

You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.

Required Qualifications:

• Current, unrestricted NV RN license or temporary NV RN license with the ability to obtain permanent NV RN license upon expiration of temporary NV RN license
• 2+ years of experience as a Registered Nurse (RN)
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) communication skills
• CPR certification or willing to obtain within 30 days of hire
• Access to reliable transportation that will enable you to travel to client and/or patient sites within a designated area

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hospice experience
• Case management experience

Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc. In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you’ll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives.

At UnitedHealth Group, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone.
