Transition Team Nurse (Facility to Home) Pittsburgh PA

Transition Team nurses provide care for all authorized hours in a home during a provisional period between 1-120 days. During this time, our office staff will be recruiting to identify full-time, replacement home healthcare nurses. The new caregivers will have an opportunity to train and shadow in the home with the transition team caregivers prior to working independently with the patient. Once the replacement nurses are trained and have a schedule, the Transitions Team are then phased out of the home and onto the next. Not just anyone can be a transition team nurse. You are the face of the company. You are the first person the family thinks of when they are new to homecare. You make a difference. This is a rare opportunity!
