Registered Nurse (RN) Homecare Float – West  

Join the Cleveland Clinic team, where you will work alongside passionate caregivers and provide patient-first healthcare. Cleveland Clinic currently serves 14 counties in the greater Cleveland and Akron areas. Divided into 4 teams (East1, East2, West and South), each team is then further divided into smaller geographical areas where each caregiver is assigned to a smaller service area within the team.

After seeing patients, Homecare RNs work remotely to complete documentation, make calls, attend meetings, coordinate patient care and arrange visit schedules. If there are no visits, RNs monitor quality through a variety of means, such as chart audits and supervisory visits. RNs are reimbursed for mileage (patient to patient) and are eligible for student loan repayment.
