About The Position

Active Day is seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) to provide nursing care to members in accordance with physician's orders and emergent needs. This role offers a unique opportunity to provide "true care" to members, getting to know them personally and delivering person-centered care without the challenges of 12-hour shifts, on-call duties, or unsafe patient ratios often found in hospitals. The RN will focus on manageable duties, familiarizing themselves with members' healthcare needs and working with a supportive team. Unlike hospital settings, this role rarely requires handling acute care conditions daily, and aides are available for assistance. The position involves coordinating care with other professional disciplines and providing instruction and assistance to members, staff, family members, and the general community, ensuring compliance with company policies, safety, and regulatory standards.
