About The Position

Our nursing team plays a critical role in supporting individuals to live safe, healthy, and independent lives in community settings.

The Registered Nurse is responsible for overseeing the medical and health services of individuals supported by Boone Supported Living. The RN will provide nursing oversight, perform staff delegation for medical procedures, review medical documentation, coordinate with healthcare providers, and assist with staff training including medication aide and CPR/First Aid instruction.
