Registered Nurse

Join to apply for the Registered Nurse role at The Arc Lexington

Are you a nurse who believes healthcare is about more than medications and paperwork? At The Arc Lexington, our Residential Registered Nurses are more than clinicians – they are advocates, educators, and trusted partners who help people live healthier, more independent lives. In this role, you'll use your nursing expertise to support the well‑being, dignity, and personal goals of people in our residential programs, ensuring care is thoughtful, coordinated, and truly person‑centered.

As a Residential RN at The Arc Lexington, you'll play a vital role in coordinating and overseeing healthcare services for people we support. You'll complete nursing assessments, provide direct care, and collaborate with physicians, healthcare providers, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure individualized health needs are met.

You’ll also serve as a resource and mentor to LPNs and direct support staff, offering guidance, education, and support to promote safe practices and positive outcomes. Most importantly, you’ll help people maintain their health, independence, and quality of life while respecting their choices and individuality.

The Arc Lexington always strives to be the best possible employer. This means going to great lengths to ensure it is a great place to work, a place where employees feel valued, nurtured, and respected.
