Welcome to Heights Care & Rehab

Where Charge Nurses are leaders — not just shift survivors.

We’re looking for an LPN or RN with SNF experience who knows their stuff and knows how to keep things human when the day gets wild.

Schedule is 2pm-10pm Monday-Friday

We Are Serious About Care. Not Too Serious About Ourselves.

The Reality (Because You’re a Nurse, Not a Rookie)

You’ll be:

• Leading the floor like the calm, capable professional you are
• Supporting CNAs, nurses, and residents (sometimes all at once)
• Handling SNF life with confidence, competence, and common sense
• Communicating with leadership that actually listens
• Keeping standards high without killing morale

No toxic nonsense.
No “figure it out yourself” leadership.
No pretending staffing issues are your fault.

Why You’ll Actually Like Working Here

• A fantastic culture where teamwork is real
• An incredible NHA who supports nursing and shows up
• Leadership that respects nurses (wild concept)
• Coworkers who laugh with you, not at you
• A workplace where humor is allowed and humanity is encouraged

Yes, even on those shifts.

? We’re Looking For Someone Who:

• Is an LPN or RN with SNF experience
• Can take charge without taking themselves too seriously
• Knows when to be firm and when to crack a joke
• Believes good leadership includes empathy, boundaries, and a sense of humor

Fair Warning

If you hate teamwork, despise laughter, or think leadership means barking orders — this is not your unit.

But if you’re a solid nurse who wants to lead well, laugh often, and work somewhere that actually has your back…

Come be the Charge Nurse who runs the floor — and still enjoys coming to work.
