Registered Nurse (RN) – Transition Team
Employment Type: Full-Time & Part-Time Available
Maxim Healthcare is proud to be recognized as a Certified Great Place to Work® – 2026, and we are hiring Registered Nurses (RNs) to join our specialized Transition Team.
About the Transition Team
Our Transition Team is a supplemental care unit of highly skilled nurses whose primary focus is to quickly and efficiently support patients transitioning home while permanent nursing staff are actively recruited. This team is deployed immediately after a patient referral is received and the patient is admitted to Maxim.
Transition Team nurses provide nursing care for all authorized hours in the home during a provisional period of 1–90 days. During this time, our office team recruits permanent caregivers.

After the transition is complete, Transition Team nurses move on to support the next new admission—providing variety, consistency, and meaningful impact in patient care.

Home Health Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a home health nurse in Pennsylvania?
To become a home health nurse in Pennsylvania, you must first earn an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain an active RN license through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Most home health agencies in Pennsylvania also require at least one year of clinical experience before hiring nurses into independent home-visit roles, though new graduates can sometimes enter through transitional or supervised orientation tracks.
How much do home health nurses make in Pennsylvania?
Home health nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire home health nurses in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring home health nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, BAYADA Home Health Care, and UPMC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's high concentration of hospital systems with affiliated home health divisions, along with large national agencies operating regional hubs in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, means openings arise consistently throughout the year.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most home health nurse jobs?
Philadelphia, York, and Harrisburg have the most home health nurse openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its dense population and the large home health networks anchored by major academic health systems, while Pittsburgh's aging Rust Belt population drives high demand for post-acute and hospice care, and Allentown reflects the Lehigh Valley's fast-growing senior services sector.
Are there remote home health nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Home health nursing is fundamentally an in-person, patient-facing role that requires physical presence in a patient's home, so fully remote positions make up a small share of all openings. About 24% of home health nurse openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be care coordination, telehealth triage, or case management roles rather than direct bedside visits.
How can I get hired as a home health nurse in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a position as a staff nurse in a med-surg or rehabilitation unit at a Pennsylvania hospital and then transitioning into home health after building foundational clinical skills. Large Pennsylvania health systems such as UPMC, Jefferson Health, and Tower Health offer new-graduate residency programs that provide supervised clinical rotations. Earning a Pennsylvania RN license promptly and pursuing a wound care or IV therapy certification strengthens your candidacy with agencies that offer structured new-hire orientation before independent visits.
Where can I find and apply to home health nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to home health nurse jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings from agencies and health systems across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
