Registered Nurse (RN)

Where Compassion, Leadership, and a “Can-Do” Attitude Come Together

At Helia Healthcare, we don’t just provide care—we create a community full of support, teamwork, and friendly smiles. Our Registered Nurses are the heartbeat of that mission. We’re looking for an RN who can bring clinical excellence, leadership, and a genuine love for helping others to our residents and team.

If you’re someone who values compassion, teamwork, and doing the right thing even on the busy days, you’ll fit right in with us!

What You’ll Do (a.k.a. Your Superpowers at Helia)

As an RN, you’ll help ensure our residents receive the highest level of care while leading and guiding our LPNs and CNAs with confidence and kindness.

Your days may include:

Making sure resident care is delivered according to top-notch standards of practice.

Observing, assessing, documenting, and communicating any changes in resident conditions—because details matter.
Administering medications and treatments like the clinical pro you are.
Receiving, transcribing, and carrying out physician orders accurately.
Implementing and evaluating care plans that support residents’ wellness and comfort.
Keeping equipment and supplies organized—and letting leadership know when restocking is needed.
Updating your team at the start of each shift and staying looped in with them throughout the day.
Directing CNAs to ensure resident care is performed safely, respectfully, and per policy.
Rounding with CNAs before the end of your shift to ensure everything is in order.
Passing along helpful, thorough information to oncoming staff so each shift can shine.
Completing assessments like admissions, pain evaluations, and other required documentation.
Advocating for residents to remain comfortable and pain-free—because comfort is care.
Ensuring incident/accident reporting is completed fully, accurately, and in accordance with policy.
Promptly notifying physicians and families of significant changes in resident health.
Pitching in with light housekeeping or maintenance when needed to maintain a clean, safe environment.
Helping evaluate and coach team members respectfully and fairly.
Performing frequent rounds to ensure the facility stays tidy, odor-free, and welcoming.
Serving as a supportive team leader and role model.
Understanding and upholding the facility abuse policy—and ensuring others do, too.
Creating an exceptional resident experience with a positive, “how can I help?” attitude.
Living out Helia’s values of compassion, responsiveness, teamwork, courtesy, personalized care, and “being nice matters.”
Maintaining consistent and reliable attendance.
