Registered Nurse - RN Case Manager

About the Role

We provide in-home care to former Nuclear Weapons Workers who are suffering from chronic and terminal illnesses as a result of their previous work environment. Our RN-Case Managers conduct in-home nursing visits for our clients, who are former Nuclear Weapons Workers with chronic/terminal illness due to exposure to toxic substances while working for the Government. The nursing visits are conducted weekly and typically last 1–2 hours per visit.

During the visits, the RN-Case Managers perform physical assessments including vitals, ensure home safety with medical equipment and supplies, fill weekly medication planners, and oversee skilled and non-skilled caregivers providing care in the client's home. Benefit from one-on-one patient relationships and from the satisfaction of enhancing clients’ health, quality of life, and peace of mind.
