The Primary Registered Nurse is responsible for collaborating with a group of nurses to provide help with case management at our Meng facility. This includes completing skilled nursing assessments with comprehensive, routine, and acuity visits. Flexibility, teamwork, and exceptional communication are a must for the Float nurse. The Float A nurse works collaboratively with the primary team and interdisciplinary teams to achieve high-quality patient standards.

During periods when census is higher, you will be cross-trained and expected to support your team by assisting with taking on a small caseload of patients, serving as a Float Registered Nurse as needed within the community, seeing patients in the home, and within facilities. This collaborative approach ensures that all patients receive the highest level of care, regardless of fluctuating caseloads.
