Posted on: August 2, 2020

Job Description:

Hospice/Palliative Medicine opening in Santa Cruz, California.

• . RNnetwork is working with healthcare facilities around the country to help meet the needs brought on by the COVID19 outbreak. We are seeking a skilled Long Term Care RN willing to help during this time. A long term care nurse works in a nursing home, rest home, skilled nursing facility (SNF), or a convalescent home. Most of the patients they will care for are elderly and are there because they can no longer live at home safely. The resident may have ambulation difficulties and need a walker or wheelchair to get around. Many have dementia and are confused. The nurse will care for more residents than a nurse working in a hospital. Sometimes a complete hall is assigned to the nurse and most of her or his time is spent passing medications. The nurse will push a medication (med) cart down the hall from room to room; making sure medications are dispensed on time. Overseeing nurses aids and making sure the residents are cared for in a compassionate manner is part of the job. The nurse will also work with the therapy department in coordinating care. Since the facility is the residents' home, the nurse will get to know them well. Please know that your health and safety are our top priorities. No matter where your healthcare assignments take you, we'll have your back the entire time. If you or someone you know can assist, we'd love to hear from you. If you're a Long Term Care Nurse, apply now and see what the buzz is all about!
