JOB DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
Registered Nurse – Home Health - Travel - (HH RN)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $1908.00 - $2006.00

This Home Health Registered Nurse position is based in Wheeling, West Virginia, a charming riverfront city nestled along the Ohio River. Wheeling blends historic architecture with a welcoming, close-knit community and an affordable cost of living. The city offers easy access to scenic parks, wooded hills, and waterways, making it ideal for those who enjoy outdoor recreation. Nearby trails, riverside paths, and green spaces provide opportunities for walking, biking, and seasonal activities. Wheeling also features local festivals, cultural events, and historic attractions that add character and variety to life outside of work. As a Home Health RN in Wheeling, you will practice in a region that values strong community ties and patient-centered care. The role offers a high degree of autonomy, allowing you to plan your day, organize your route, and deliver care in the home setting where patients are most comfortable. You will see a diverse mix of adult and geriatric patients with surgical recovery needs, chronic disease management, and rehabilitation goals, giving you an opportunity to apply your clinical skills in a meaningful, one-on-one environment. In this position, you will be responsible for conducting comprehensive in-home nursing assessments, identifying patient needs, and developing individualized plans of care. Your typical day includes traveling between patient homes, performing skilled nursing interventions, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and evaluating progress toward goals. You will provide patient and family education on disease processes, medications, home safety, and lifestyle changes designed to prevent complications and reduce hospital readmissions. You will function as a key member of an interdisciplinary team, coordinating closely with physicians, therapists, social workers, and home health aides to ensure that each patient’s plan of care is cohesive and effective. Communication and collaboration are central to the role, as you help manage transitions from hospital or facility to home and keep all stakeholders informed on patient status. The home health environment often allows for tailored caseloads and opportunities to focus on specific patient populations or clinical interests, supporting professional growth and specialization. Documentation will be completed using electronic medical records and mobile devices, often at the point of care in the patient’s home. You will be responsible for timely, accurate visit notes and completion of necessary assessments, aligning with regulatory standards and quality expectations. Patient volumes can vary, but home health RN caseloads are generally structured to allow for thorough, high-quality care and sufficient time for travel, assessments, and education during each visit. Scheduling typically includes daytime hours with some flexibility, often structured around a full-time workweek. Depending on the agency’s needs, there may be rotating on-call responsibilities, weekend or holiday coverage, or opportunities for adjusted start and end times that support work-life balance. Within Wheeling and the surrounding communities, home health services are essential to maintaining patient independence and quality of life, so your role as a Home Health RN is highly visible and deeply valued. This opportunity in Wheeling, West Virginia, is well-suited to a nurse who enjoys independent practice, relationship-centered care, and the chance to see tangible impacts on patient outcomes in their own homes. The combination of a supportive healthcare community, a scenic and historic city, and the rewarding nature of home health nursing makes this a compelling next step in your career.
