If you’re an RN who enjoys leading the clinical picture, making high-level decisions, and setting patients up for success from day one, this role puts you in that seat. As the Admissions Nurse, you are the clinical quarterback, guiding the start of care and ensuring every patient begins with a clear, safe, and effective plan.

• Work within an established, high-volume referral network, ensuring consistent opportunity and steady workflow.
• Complete Start of Care (SOC) admissions, delivering thorough in-home assessments and accurate OASIS documentation.
• Develop and initiate individualized care plans, ensuring each patient is set up for safe and effective home health services.
• Identify risks, gaps, and service needs early, coordinating the right disciplines and resources from the start.
• Communicate clearly with providers, caregivers, and internal teams to ensure alignment and continuity of care.
