Active participant of the Nebraska Rural Health Workforce Incentive Program that offers monetary incentives to select nursing professionals, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, in exchange for a service commitment to work in a rural county for a 5-year period.

The MDS Nurse uses independent judgment in planning, organizing, directing, and evaluating activities of the professional and supportive nursing staff engaged in resident plan of care. The MDS Nurse evaluates care provided to each resident and keeps care plans current, leading the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) process. The MDS Nurse assists in assessment and evaluation of potential admissions and completes resident assessments upon admission, quarterly, and annually.

The MDS Nurse collaborates with residents, families or advocates, and inter‑disciplinary colleagues, including providers, to ensure ongoing care for each resident to provide the best quality of life possible. When functioning on the floor, the Registered Nurse (RN) uses the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, outcomes/planning, implementation and evaluation) to provide individualized nursing care to patients. The RN demonstrates competency and practices within the full scope of nursing expertise and knowledge and uses appropriate age and population specific standards as designated in their assigned clinical setting.

The RN cares for residents in all phases of preventative care, health maintenance, diagnosis, and treatment. The RN coordinates care, performs resident assessments, provides resident education, and implements various other nursing interventions.

The RN may serve as charge nurse and delegate appropriate tasks to licensed and unlicensed assistive personnel within the job descriptions, skills, resident care needs, and the competence level of the delegate. As charge nurse, the RN provides assistance and support to delegates to ensure safe and reliable administration of resident care and resolve care and service concerns.

The RN functions within the scopes and standards of nursing practice as outlined in the Nurse Practice Act and administrative rules in the state of practice and licensure. The Professional Nursing Practice recognizes the scope and standards of practice and the Code of Ethics for Nurses with interpretive statements published by the American Nurses Association as the foundation of nursing care delivery and professional conduct.

Graduate from a National League of Nursing (NLN) or American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) accredited nursing program is preferred. Bachelor’s Degree in nursing preferred.

Minimum of one-year experience working as a licensed nurse with the senior population preferred. Specific services/positions may have additional education, training, or experience requirements. Resident Assessment Coordinator‑Certified (RAC‑CT), management or supervisory experience preferred.

Currently holds an unencumbered RN license with the State Board of Nursing where practice occurs and/or possesses multistate licensure if in a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state.
