Nurse Home Visitor

Primary Purpose

Nurse Home Visitors provide high-quality nursing care to patients in their homes. The Registered Nurse (RN) is a licensed professional who uses the Parkland nursing professional practice model to coordinate patient care delivery, which focuses on a particular patient population(s)/specific health condition, by the health care team. Using the nursing process, the RN assesses the patient, identifies nursing diagnoses based on responses to health problems, develops and implements an individualized plan of care, and evaluates the patient’s response. The RN utilizes knowledge of patient needs and the healthcare environment to assist patients in transitioning through the healthcare encounter without any preventable complications or delays. The RN delegates interventions to healthcare personnel based on the Texas Nursing Practice Act, each patient’s condition, and the competencies of the employee.
