Hillcrest Health & Living is looking for a compassionate and dependable Nurse Tech (CNA) to join our full-time day-shift nursing team at Hillcrest Firethorn in Lincoln.

As a Nurse Tech, you’ll be one of the people our guests and residents rely on most. From helping someone get comfortable for the night to responding when they need assistance or recognizing an important change in their condition, the care you provide matters.

At Hillcrest, our mission is simple:
Inspiring people to live their best lives. You’ll help bring that mission to life by providing hands‑on care that helps each person feel safe, respected, comfortable, and cared for throughout the night.

As a Nurse Tech (CNA), you’ll work alongside nurses, Med Techs, and other team members to provide personalized care throughout the night.

You will:

• Assist guests and residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, toileting, and other activities of daily living.
• Encourage independence by helping each person do as much as safely possible for themselves.
• Respond to call lights and resident needs promptly and compassionately.
• Assist with transfers, positioning, ambulation, and wheelchair transportation according to individualized care plans.
• Obtain and record vital signs as directed.
• Observe for physical, behavioral, or emotional changes and promptly communicate concerns to the nurse.
• Assist with snacks, hydration, and other dining needs as appropriate.
• Help guests and residents settle in comfortably and maintain a calm, safe environment throughout the night.
• Change linens and help maintain clean, comfortable resident-care areas.
• Follow individualized care plans and established safety and clinical procedures.
• Complete required care documentation accurately and on time.
• Communicate refusals of care, abnormal vital signs, and other concerns to the nurse.

• Work collaboratively with nurses, Med Techs, therapy, culinary, and other team members to provide excellent care.
• Build positive relationships with guests, residents, families, and coworkers through kindness, patience, and respect.

Great Nurse Techs do more than complete a list of tasks. They notice the little things, recognize when something has changed, and understand how much kindness and dignity matter when caring for another person.
