Job description

This position is for a Registered Nurse who wants to continue using their clinical knowledge without providing direct or physical patient care.

The RN in this role completes in-home visits by talking with clients and families, review health history, and develop clear, practical care plans for non-medical in-home caregivers to follow. The work is focused on assessment, communication, and care planning—not clinical tasks.

What makes this role different

• No hands-on care
  
• No clinical procedures
  
• No lifting, transfers, bathing, or personal care
  

This role is centered on conversation, observation, documentation, and relationship-based support.

• Travel to clients’ homes to complete scheduled, non-clinical nursing assessments
  
• Conduct verbal and observational assessments with clients and family members

• Develop and update individualized care plans for in-home caregivers to follow
  
• Serve as a clinical resource to the care team regarding the client’s plan of care
  
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation of assessments and care plans
  

The focus of each visit is understanding the client’s health background, functional needs, and personal goals in order to build a realistic and supportive care plan.

This position works well for nurses who:

• Want to step away from physically demanding clinical environments
  
• Prefer predictable, scheduled visits rather than shift-based floor work
  
• Value meaningful, one-on-one conversations with clients and families
  
• Enjoy care coordination, planning, and education
  
• Want to continue using nursing judgment without bedside responsibilities
