Nurses and other health care workers serve all segments of society in many different settings. Some have expertise in home care which often provides an opportunity for establishing a longer term relationship with the client or patient. A staffing nurse, therapist or aide is often filling in for a shift or providing a much more temporary service. Hospice health care professionals have a variety of areas of expertise including nursing, medical social work, chaplain/spiritual counselors, therapists and bereavement specialists. Often working as a team, each individual provides valuable services to patients and their families.
Every health care job requires individuals with specific education, licensure and experience. However, they all consist of individuals who care about others and are interested in making a difference.
Interim HealthCare places a high value on continuing education. Our online Learning Center, Interim HealthCare University, offers more than 300 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and in-service educational courses. These courses are provided at no cost to our employees and we encourage employees to take full advantage of advanced learning opportunities.
