What You'll Do

• Perform comprehensive nursing assessments at admission and throughout each resident's stay

• Administer medications, IV therapy, tube feedings, wound care, and other prescribed treatments
• Monitor residents closely and respond quickly to changes in condition
• Supervise and delegate to LPNs and CNAs

• Communicate with physicians, nurse practitioners, and families as a trusted care partner
• Take part in care conferences and discharge planning
• Uphold CMS guidelines and infection control standards
• Support quality assurance and performance improvement efforts
• Educate and reassure residents and their families

Why Work Here

• Lead a team of LPNs and CNAs with real autonomy in resident care decisions
• Work in a facility that blends short-term rehab and long-term care, so no two days look the same
• Be part of an interdisciplinary team that values your clinical voice in care conferences and discharge planning

What You'll Need

• Active, unrestricted RN license in Washington

Is this role right for you?

If you're a nurse who wants more clinical ownership than a hospital floor typically allows and the chance to really know your residents — this SNF setting offers that. Expect a fast-paced environment (standing, walking, lifting up to 50 lbs, and quick response in emergencies), balanced by a genuinely collaborative care team.

Puyallup Post Acute is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
