RN Charge Nurse (Weekend ONLY)
About The Position
As the RN (Weekend Only), you provide the essential 8-hour clinical coverage each Saturday and Sunday (9a–5p) that keeps resident care strong, consistent, and survey-ready. This PRN, onsite senior-level role exists to protect continuity of care, support the nursing team, and meet long-term care requirements. Key responsibilities include completing wound care and wound assessments; responding quickly to changes in resident condition; providing RN oversight and guidance to staff; completing timely documentation and clinical follow-up in the EHR; assisting with admissions, discharges, and other nursing needs; and ensuring compliance with facility policies plus state and federal regulations. Your Weekend Shift You step in with calm momentum, take report, and quickly scan the clinical picture so nothing slips between weekday and weekend care. The pace stays energizing: you move between resident rooms, the nurses’ station, and quick touchpoints with the team, keeping communication crisp and priorities clear. Throughout the day, you balance hands-on moments with focused charting, making sure updates land cleanly in the record and follow-ups are teed up for the next shift. When a resident’s status changes, you pivot fast—coordinating the right response, notifying the right people, and keeping everyone aligned. By late afternoon, you’ve tightened continuity for the building, supported staff confidence, and handed off an organized, no-surprises report—so the weekend ends as strong as it started.
