About the Position A Registered Nurse (RN) – Long Term Care
provides comprehensive nursing care to residents in long-term care
facilities, such as nursing homes or assisted living centers. The
RN is responsible for managing the overall care of residents,
including assessments, care planning, medication administration,
treatment, and coordination of care. The RN works closely with
other healthcare professionals, family members, and caregivers to
ensure residents maintain a high quality of life, have their
medical needs addressed, and are supported with both their physical
and emotional well-being. Key Responsibilities : Patient Assessment
and Care Planning : Conduct thorough initial assessments of new
residents upon admission, evaluating their medical history, current
condition, and specific care needs. Collaborate with the
interdisciplinary team (doctors, therapists, social workers) to
develop and implement individualized care plans that address each
resident’s medical, emotional, and psychological needs.
Continuously assess residents’ conditions and adjust care plans as
necessary to reflect changes in health status, medications, or
functional abilities. Medication Management : Administer prescribed
medications to residents, ensuring correct dosages, timely
administration, and proper documentation. Monitor residents for
medication side effects, allergies, or adverse reactions and notify
the healthcare provider when necessary. Educate residents and their
families about the medications, their purposes, and potential side
effects. Clinical Care and Treatments : Provide routine nursing
care, such as wound care, catheter care, dressing changes, and
managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or
respiratory issues. Assist with activities of daily living (ADLs)
as needed, such as bathing, dressing, and feeding residents who are
unable to perform these tasks independently. Monitor vital signs
(blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate) and report
any significant changes to the physician or care team. Manage and
monitor residents’ pain levels, ensuring effective pain management
strategies are in place. Resident and Family Education : Educate
residents and their families about health conditions, treatments,
medications, and ways to manage chronic conditions. Offer guidance
on lifestyle changes, nutrition, mobility, and other self-care
practices that promote health and comfort. Provide emotional and
psychological support to residents and their families, addressing
any concerns about care or health status. Teach families how to
assist with caregiving tasks, such as repositioning, transferring,
and helping with physical therapy exercises. Care Coordination and
Advocacy : Coordinate and communicate with the broader care team to
ensure residents receive comprehensive care across multiple
disciplines (e.g., physical therapy, nutrition, social work).
Advocate for the needs and preferences of residents, ensuring their
care plans are followed and that they receive appropriate care in a
timely manner. Monitor and respond to changes in residents' mental
and emotional well-being, ensuring they have access to appropriate
mental health resources or counseling if needed. Documentation and
Reporting : Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of residents'
conditions, treatment plans, and interventions. Document all
interactions with residents, medication administration, changes in
health status, and any concerns or incidents that occur. Ensure
compliance with all regulatory requirements, including HIPAA
standards, by maintaining confidential and thorough documentation.
Complete assessments, care plan updates, and progress notes in a
timely manner to ensure all care is well-documented. Emergency
Response and Crisis Management : Respond to medical emergencies,
including sudden changes in condition, falls, or adverse reactions
to treatments. Provide immediate care in emergency situations, such
as CPR, first aid, or other life-saving measures, until additional
medical support arrives. Monitor residents at risk for falls,
dehydration, or infections, and implement preventative measures to
reduce risks. Compliance and Quality Assurance : Ensure that care
provided meets all federal, state, and facility regulations,
policies, and standards. Participate in quality improvement
initiatives to enhance the overall care experience for residents
and improve outcomes. Ensure that residents' rights, including
dignity, privacy, and autonomy, are respected at all times.
Leadership and Staff Supervision : Supervise and mentor nursing
assistants and other support staff, providing guidance on care
tasks and assisting with skill development. Assist in delegating
tasks and managing shifts to ensure that care delivery is efficient
and meets the needs of all residents. Participate in staff meetings
and contribute to discussions regarding resident care and facility
improvements.
