We love where we work, and we can't wait to show you!

Jefferson Healthcare (www.jeffersonhealthcare.org) is seeking a full-time Wound Care Registered Nurse to join our fully accredited Home Health program. In Home Health, we are providing comfort and support to keep our patients at home, comfortable, and out of the hospital. Home Health is a unique environment where nurses can really shine. Our nurses are autonomous - assessing, critically thinking, and making decisions, often as the only clinician in the patient's home at a given time. They are confident in themselves and their skills. Our nurses are able to see the big picture, asking broader questions and assessing, while also providing day-to-day care. They are strong communicators who recognize the challenges of being a remote team and how crucial communication is for the care of our patients. And of course, our nurses are compassionate & caring.

Jefferson Healthcare is one of the top employers on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula and near Seattle, Victoria, BC and Vancouver. We are a DNV-accredited, 5 Star-rated 25-bed Critical Access Hospital with six rural health clinics and a wide scope of specialty services; we provide exceptional care for more than 25,000 residents of East Jefferson County.
