This role evaluates the care provided to residents, ensuring care plans are up-to-date. The MDS Nurse plays a leading role in the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) process and assists in assessing potential admissions while completing required resident assessments upon admission, quarterly, and annually. This position involves collaboration with residents, families, and interdisciplinary teams, including medical providers, to ensure optimal quality of life for each resident. While functioning on the floor, the Registered Nurse (RN) is responsible for applying the nursing process, which includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation, to deliver individualized nursing care to patients. The RN demonstrates expertise within the full scope of nursing practice and adheres to age and population-specific standards as necessary.

At least one year of experience working as a licensed nurse with senior populations is ideal, and having a Resident Assessment Coordinator-Certified (RAC-CT) certification, or management or supervisory experience is a plus. The candidate must possess an unencumbered RN license with the State Board of Nursing in the state of practice or multistate licensure if in a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state. Continuous education units (CEUs) and competency training must be maintained. Affiliation with a professional nursing organization is preferred.
