Full-Time Available To Stand Out Email Elena Ehrlich at with your resume and tell us about your home health experience, your comfort level with OASIS and Start of Care assessments , and why admissions are a strength for you. Some Nurses Love Managing the Journey. Others Love Figuring Out Where It Should Start. If you've worked in home health long enough, you know there is a particular skill to completing a great admission. You walk into a patient's home with a referral, a medical history, and some preliminary information, but it's your job to uncover the full clinical picture. Home Health Care, Inc. is hiring an experienced Start of Care Nurse (RN) to focus on home health admissions throughout the Northern Greater Twin Cities Metro Area . If assessments, OASIS, clinical problem-solving, and meeting new patients are the parts of home health you do especially well, this role allows you to make those strengths the focus of your work. Become an Admissions Expert Not every RN enjoys Start of Care visits. They require strong assessment skills, attention to detail, confidence with OASIS, efficient documentation, and the ability to quickly establish trust with a patient you've never met before. But some nurses are exceptionally good at them. You know how to walk into an unfamiliar situation and quickly determine what's clinically important. You can reconcile medications, identify safety concerns, understand the patient's functional limitations, educate the family, and translate everything you've learned into a strong plan for the clinicians taking over the patient's ongoing care. That's expertise worth building a role around. Why This Role Stands Out $150-$200 per Start of Care Mileage reimbursement Full-Time opportunities available Dedicated focus on home health admissions Extensive use of OASIS and clinical assessment skills Opportunity to work with a wide variety of diagnoses and patient populations Field-based independence throughout the Northern Metro Collaboration with experienced Case Managers and interdisciplinary clinicians Support from established home health clinical leadership More than 30 years of experience providing Medicare-certified home health care across Minnesota Your Work Has a Clear Beginning and a Clear Goal You're there to understand the patient thoroughly and establish the clinical foundation for their home health episode. That means completing a comprehensive assessment, identifying immediate needs, educating the patient and caregiver, building the initial plan of care, and making sure the ongoing team understands what needs to happen next. Then you get to do it again with someone completely different. For nurses who enjoy new patients, new clinical situations, and solving the initial puzzle , admissions can be one of the most interesting areas of home health nursing. What You'll Be Doing Complete comprehensive Start of Care assessments for new home health patients Perform accurate and timely OASIS documentation Complete medication reconciliation and identify potential concerns Assess clinical, functional, environmental, and safety needs Develop individualized plans of care based on patient goals and clinical findings Educate patients and caregivers on medications, disease management, safety, and home health expectations Identify concerns requiring immediate intervention or provider communication Coordinate with physicians and referring providers Communicate a clear clinical picture to the RN Case Manager and ongoing care team Collaborate with PT, OT, SLP, social work, and other disciplines Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant documentation A Great Fit for an Experienced Home Health RN This isn't a role where we'd expect an RN to learn OASIS from scratch. We're looking for someone who already understands home health and can confidently complete Start of Care visits while managing the clinical and documentation requirements that come with them. If you've been an RN Case Manager, Admissions RN, Start of Care Nurse, or experienced Home Health RN , this can be an opportunity to take the part of the job you're particularly good at and make it a bigger part of your career.
What You Bring Required:
Active Minnesota Registered Nurse (RN) license Previous home health nursing experience Experience completing Start of Care assessments Working knowledge of OASIS Strong head-to-toe assessment and critical-thinking skills Strong clinical documentation and organizational skills Confidence independently evaluating new patients in their homes Excellent patient, caregiver, and provider communication Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Preferred:
Strong OASIS proficiency Dedicated home health admissions experience RN Case Management experience Experience with medically complex and post-acute patients If Admissions Are Your Strength, Make Them Your Specialty. There is real skill involved in being the first home health clinician through the door. You need to understand the patient quickly, ask the right questions, recognize what's missing, complete an accurate OASIS, establish the plan, educate the family, and give the ongoing clinical team a strong starting point. If that's the part of home health nursing where you shine, Home Health Care, Inc. wants to put that experience to work. You'll earn $150-$200 per Start of Care plus mileage reimbursement while focusing on admissions throughout the Northern Greater Twin Cities Metro Area.
