Registered Nurse (RN) Homecare – Summit and Stark Counties Service Area
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.

As a Home Health Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for providing high quality nursing care to patients in the comfort of their own homes. As an RN, you will provide assessments, complex nursing treatments, and education to help avoid readmissions to the acute care setting. After seeing patients, Home Health RNs work remotely to complete documentation, make calls, attend meetings, coordinate patient care and arrange visit schedules. Cleveland Clinic Home Care provides a generous in-depth orientation that is tailored to each individual and their experience level. This position is eligible for student loan repayment.
A caregiver in this position works Monday – Fridaystarting around 7:00AM/8:30AM and is required to complete 52 units every two weeks.

- Provide direct nursing care.
- Perform accurate and complete admission assessments and reassessments within a specified time frame.
- Assess patients for safety risks, abuse and neglect.
- Serve as a primary coordinator of all disciplines for well-coordinated patient care.
- Assess, document, prioritize and manage patients’ pain.
Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:
- Graduate from an accredited school of professional nursing.
- Current state licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN).
- One year of clinical experience as an RN in an acute med/surg setting.
- Valid Ohio driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance coverage with $100,000/$300,000 coverage.
Preferred qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:
- Bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). A BSN is required within three years of hire date if a diploma or associate’s degree of nursing (ADN) has been obtained.
- Infusion therapy experience.
- Familiarity with complex medical treatments.
