Registered Nurse

Amber Court of Elizabeth is seeking an experienced, compassionate, and highly organized Full-Time Nurse to support the health, safety, and overall well-being of residents within our assisted living community.

Prior nursing experience in Assisted Living, Long-Term Care, Skilled Nursing, or a comparable senior-care setting is required for consideration.

The Full-Time Nurse plays an integral role in ensuring residents receive appropriate clinical oversight while maintaining the dignity, independence, choice, and quality of life that are central to assisted living.

This position requires more than strong clinical skills. We are looking for a nurse who understands the senior-living environment—someone who recognizes subtle changes in resident condition, communicates effectively with families and healthcare providers, maintains strong documentation, supports frontline staff, and takes ownership of concerns through resolution.

The ideal candidate understands that successful assisted living nursing is often about recognizing a problem before it becomes an emergency.

• Conduct and/or participate in resident assessments and reassessments in accordance with New Jersey assisted living requirements, professional scope of practice, and community policy.

• Monitor residents for changes in physical, cognitive, behavioral, and functional condition.

• Recognize significant changes from a resident's baseline and ensure appropriate assessment, intervention, escalation, notification, documentation, and follow-up.

• Identify potential resident health and safety risks, including falls, changes in mobility, skin integrity concerns, nutritional or hydration concerns, medication-related concerns, and cognitive or behavioral changes.

• Monitor residents following hospitalization, rehabilitation stays, emergency department visits, falls, illness, or other significant changes in condition.

• Communicate clinical concerns promptly to the appropriate physician, healthcare provider, responsible party, and community leadership.

• Participate in the development, implementation, review, and revision of individualized resident service and care plans.

• Ensure identified resident needs and interventions are accurately reflected in the resident's plan of care.

• Coordinate care with physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacies, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, home health providers, hospice providers, and other members of the resident's healthcare team.

• Participate in resident care conferences as appropriate.

• Assist with resident admissions, transitions of care, and returns from hospitals or rehabilitation facilities.

• Ensure new and revised physician orders are appropriately communicated and implemented.

• Follow outstanding clinical matters through resolution rather than relying solely on initial notification or referral.

• Support residents' ability to safely age in place whenever their needs can appropriately be met within the assisted living setting.

• Support safe medication management practices in accordance with New Jersey requirements, physician orders, professional scope of practice, and community policy.

• Review medication orders and medication-related documentation for accuracy and completeness as assigned.

• Identify and promptly address medication discrepancies.

• Communicate medication changes with appropriate staff, healthcare providers, pharmacies, residents, and responsible parties as necessary.

• Monitor and report potential adverse reactions, medication-related concerns, and changes in resident condition.

• Participate in medication audits and quality reviews.

• Provide clinical guidance and support to authorized staff…
