Home Health does not employ new graduates, as Title XXII requires the professional Home Health Nurse to have a minimum of one year of acute care experience. Previous Home Health experience is preferred but not required. The ideal Home Health nurse is highly organized, has strong critical thinking skills and solid assessment abilities, and prefers working in a setting that requires a high degree of autonomy. They communicate clearly, concisely and have computer proficiency. They are good listeners and enjoy being part of a team working for outstanding patient outcomes.

Home Health nurses are generalists. Our Agency does on-the-job training for assessment, evaluation, patient education and care delivery for a variety of diagnoses prevalent in our population

Schedules are patient driven but allow the professional nurse the maximum amount of flexibility. State-of-the-art point-of-care service data entry and patient information retrieval allow for effective use of care provider time. John Muir Home Health is on a "Magnet Journey" as a department in the Nursing Division of John Muir Health Walnut Creek.
