Job description

About us

Working as a nurse home visitor is much different than hospital or clinical nursing. Our nurses get to work one on one with families during their pregnancy and then for two years after they have their babies. This allows the nurses to support the client during this critical time in their and their babies’ lives. It also allows nurses to really spend quality time with their families.

Instead of having six to twenty patients in your care a day each nurse sees about twelve clients a week. This means that they see about three families a day. Instead of rushing from patient to patient and dealing with the seemingly endless charting, our nurses spend an hour to an hour and a half with each family and have some documentation to complete related to that visit. Our nurses also receive intensive training and support. Each nurse receives two months of training prior to seeing families independently, attends weekly meetings with all of the nursing staff, and has time one on one with the nursing supervisor to debrief on their week.

Nurse Visitor
Family Visitor Programs was established to address community concerns about increases in child abuse identified by a needs assessment in the 1980s. The Home Visitor Program began providing services to families in the fall of 1983, as one of fifteen demonstration projects with seed money from a federal Maternal Child Health block grant. In November 1986, the program became an independent not-for-profit corporation. Because of community support, the agency was the only “demonstration” project to survive, and is the longest established new parent home visitation program in Colorado.

The agency provides home visitation services to pregnant women and to parents of young children residing in the Aspen to Parachute, Colorado region. Our programs are offered to families at no cost, regardless of income.
