About The Position

Pine Rest is seeking a compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse (RN) to support individuals receiving care in hospital and residential settings. The RN delivers high-quality, person-centered nursing care while promoting a safe, recovery-focused environment, and provides clinical leadership, oversight, and collaboration within an interdisciplinary care team.

The position is based in the Older Adult Inpatient unit, a 26-bed unit with a separate close-observation wing containing 10 private patient rooms. The unit provides individualized care for older adults, including treatment for dementia, depression, and anxiety, as well as medication management. The average length of stay is 15 to 20 days. Services emphasize preserving independence and providing safe, practical support; the program also offers a support group for families and caregivers.

The schedule may be increased to full time at 32–40 hours per week by adding 8–16 resource hours weekly. Resource shifts may involve floating to another unit depending on staffing and patient census. The role is hourly and non-exempt, and may function as a charge nurse. A sign-on bonus of $7,000 is offered for part-time employment, or $14,000 if increased to full time.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, education verification, and drug screen. Pine Rest is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
