This is a W2 opportunity. The RN in this position will play a vital role in supporting clinical operations by bridging staffing gaps in unassigned homes and working directly with patients and families to ensure acceptance and utilization of authorized care. The RN Bridge Nurse also participates in clinical oversight through supervisory visits, documentation review, and nurse education.
In addition to clinical responsibilities, the RN Bridge Nurse collaborates closely with the Operations team — including Care Team Directors, Staffing, and the Executive Director — to align field staffing strategies with patient needs. While this position reports directly to the DON, the RN Bridge Nurse maintains a dotted‑line relationship with the Executive Director for coordination between clinical and operational priorities.
