What is a Soc RN?

SOC RN stands for 'Start of Care Registered Nurse.' These nurses are responsible for conducting the initial patient assessment when a patient is admitted to home health care. They evaluate the patient's physical, emotional, and social needs, create a care plan, and ensure all necessary documentation is completed according to regulatory standards. SOC RNs play a critical role in setting the foundation for the patient's ongoing care and ensuring they receive appropriate services.
