Description
Dependable Nursing is seeking an experienced, compassionate Home Healthcare RN to coordinate and oversee skilled home health care for patients across the lifespan — from pediatrics through senior care. This role begins as a part-time, hourly position and is expected to ramp quickly to full-time as the territory grows. The ideal candidate is a confident, self-directed clinician who is proficient in OASIS (start of care, recert, and discharge), understands Medicare guidelines, thrives in the field, and is excited to help build a growing home healthcare program.
This position starts part-time on an hourly visit basis, with the schedule built around current caseload in the territory. As the patient census grows, the role is expected to transition to full-time. This is an excellent opportunity for an RN who wants to grow with an expanding home health program and help shape case management in your region in south and southeast San Diego as the team scales.
