Registered Nurse – Float

Overview

The Float Registered Nurse is responsible for rotating duties between the community, the Meng Residence, and the Triage department depending on staffing needs. This includes completing skilled nursing assessments within the community or at the Meng Residence as well as providing safe and effective telephone advice, care instructions, and directions to the appropriate level of care. The nurse works collaboratively with the primary care teams, interdisciplinary team, and schedule coordinators to achieve high-quality patient standards.

During periods when your caseload is lighter, you will be expected to support your team by assisting with patient visits and transitions, serving as a Primary Registered Nurse as needed. This collaborative approach ensures that all patients receive the highest level of care, regardless of fluctuating caseloads.

This role is in the Green Bay territory and may travel outside of their territory at times.

32 hours per week, 4 days a week, working 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm. Weekend rotation is currently every 8th weekend, but may vary with a minimum of every 3rd weekend. The weekend shifts include Friday 11:00 pm-7:00 am and Saturday 7:00 pm-7:00 am. There is also a backup rotation 10-15 times a year, and up to two holidays per week.
