What are the responsibilities and job description for the Transition RN position at Maxim Healthcare Services?
Maxim Healthcare is hiring for a Registered Nurse (RN) to work on our Transition team. Our Transition Team is a supplemental care unit of skilled nurses whose primary function is to quickly and efficiently get patients home while primary nursing staff are actively recruited. This team is deployed after we receive a patient referral for home care services and the patient is admitted to Maxim.
Transition Team nurses provide care for all authorized hours in a home during a provisional period between 1-90 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 Transition Team are then transitioned to another new admission.
