About The Position

The Registered Nurse provides nursing care to members in accordance with physician's orders and emergent needs. Duties involve coordinating care with other professional disciplines and providing instruction and assistance to members, staff, family members and the general community. The Registered Nurse ensures that all work complies with company policies and procedures, safety and regulatory laws and standards. At Active Day, nurses care for members without working 12-hour shifts, being on call, staying late daily, and working with increased patient ratios. Nurses provide 'true care' to members, get to know them, and provide person-centered care. Acute care conditions are rarely handled day-to-day, and most centers have aides to assist. Duties are manageable, and nurses become familiar with members' healthcare needs with support personnel.
