About the Role
Penn Medicine at Home is offering two tracks for RN employment: Clinical Nurse - NCL or Clinical Nurse II, depending on degree level and years of experience.

The Clinical Nurse 2 or Clinical Nurse-NCL independently provides patient care through the application of the nursing process and accepts accountability for the nursing care of assigned patients, ranging in age from infancy to the elderly. The role focuses on expanding knowledge and skills to provide individualized care based on physical, psychosocial, cultural, educational, safety, and age-appropriate considerations.
The nurse seeks feedback in assuming leadership roles, provides feedback for improved clinical practice, and demonstrates how nursing practice impacts the organizational vision, mission, and goals. Compliance with all regulations and standards of regulatory and accrediting bodies is required.
