Description
Nurse Manager (a.k.a. The Calm in the Chaos, the Heart of the Floor)
Our community is looking for a Nurse Manager with a big heart, strong clinical skills, and the ability to lead with compassion (and maybe a sense of humor on tough days).
What You'll Do (Besides Being Amazing)
The Nurse Manager plays a key role in ensuring our residents receive exceptional care that meets professional standards, regulatory requirements, and-most importantly-human kindness. You'll help lead our nursing team while keeping resident care safe, effective, and compassionate.
Your day-to-day may include:
- Helping manage the nursing department and supporting residents, staff, visitors, and the occasional lost family member.
- Ensuring nursing care meets or exceeds company standards and regulatory expectations (yes, surveys included).
- Recognizing and responding to residents' clinical needs with skill and urgency.
- Assisting with dressing changes, wound care, and oversight of our wound management program.
- Communicating changes in resident condition to physicians and updating care documentation.
- Participating in scheduling and conducting resident rounds to ensure quality care-especially related to wound care.
- Making prompt, accurate nursing assessments and care decisions.
- Supporting medication administration, treatments, and nursing services per care plans and physician orders.
- Helping maintain accurate, timely charting and documentation (because if it's not documented, it didn't happen).
- Ensuring all required records and forms are completed and submitted correctly and on time.
- Assisting with evaluations of potential residents to ensure we can meet their care needs.
- Maintaining open communication with the Medical Director to ensure programs and services align with resident needs.
- Performing all duties in a way that supports residents, the team, and business operations-without unnecessary stress or drama.
