Home Health RN Jobs Overview

As an RN in home care, you provide essential services to patients who are elderly, chronically ill or impaired, or need rehabilitation and would rather receive care in their own home rather than in a medical facility. Unsurprisingly, the majority of patients have this preference, fueling the demand to fill home health RN jobs.

Credenza can help you find registered nurse home health jobs in your area, whether you’re seeking full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, or per diem employment. You may also want to search for opportunities in related specialties, such as hospice RN jobs and wound care RN jobs. You can start looking today.

Education and Skills for RN Home Care Jobs

Some home health jobs may favor RNs who have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) instead of an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), and who have at least one year of clinical experience. As with all direct care jobs, you will need to exhibit solid interpersonal skills, practice cultural competence, and demonstrate compassion. Having an upbeat attitude and being able to work independently are key soft skills for home health RN jobs.

You will likely be required to have a driver’s license in good standing and reliable access to an insured vehicle. Mandatory certifications or trainings for home health registered nurse jobs may include cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic life support (BLS). You may be at an advantage if you have additional credentials such as:

Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse (CRRN)
Certified Continence Care Nurse (CCCN)
Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP)
Certified Wound Care Nurse (CWCN)
Certified Ostomy Continence Nurse (COCN)
