Mnrc QA Wound Nurse

Nurse Manager – AKA: Keeper of Calm, Captain of Care, and Queen/King of Coordinating Chaos

Location: One of our awesome Helia Healthcare communities

Reports to: The bossy-but-lovable Director of Nursing

Status: Full-time (Super Nurse status required)

At Helia Healthcare, we don’t just work in nursing homes—we work in people’s homes. And that changes everything. Our residents are family, our coworkers are team players (with snacks), and our leadership team is here to make sure you’re set up to actually enjoy coming to work. Wild concept, right?

We’re currently seeking a Nurse Manager who’s got just the right blend of clinical skill, leadership energy, and maybe a little caffeine to help us keep the care flowing and the chaos low.

What You’ll Be Up To (Spoiler: It’s Important Stuff)

• Rocking your leadership skills by helping manage the nursing team with grace, grit, and good humor.
• Keeping our care top-notch, compassionate, and compliant. We aim for 5-star care with a side of heart.
• Acting as the ultimate wound care wizard—dressings, treatments, healing vibes, you’ve got it covered.
• Communicating with physicians like a pro. Chart updates? No problem. Clinical notes? Consider them done.
• Making rounds like royalty—checking in on residents, staff, and making sure the good vibes stay up and infections stay down.
• Helping meds and treatments go where they’re supposed to (and making sure they’re documented like a legend).
• Leading or assisting in quality improvement (QAPI) efforts—because we’re all about leveling up.
• Joining the “fun” of being on call one weekend a month—we’ll save you a donut.

You Should Definitely Apply If You…

• Have a current Illinois Registered Nurse (RN) license (the real kind—no fake IDs, please).
• Have experience in long-term care, acute care, or geriatric nursing. Or at least love hanging out with people who always have the best stories and candy in their rooms.
• Can juggle a clipboard, a team meeting, a wound vac, and a random hallway question—without dropping your coffee.
• Are great at solving problems and not so into finger-pointing. (Unless it’s pointing toward cake in the break room.)

Perks of Joining Team Helia:

• Competitive pay, full benefits, 401k, and all that serious stuff.
• A leadership team that actually listens. (Like… really.)
• A workplace that feels like home—because it is home for our residents.
• Opportunities to grow your career (seriously, many of our leaders started on the floor).
• A strong mission and values that focus on people first. Always.

Let’s Be Clear:

All offers are contingent on a successful background check and drug screen—because we believe in safety and standards.

And just so you know—we’re not into cookie-cutter teams. Helia Healthcare is proudly an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate every kind of difference and believe our workplaces are better when they reflect the beautiful diversity of our residents and communities. So come as you are—and let’s grow together.

Ready to join a team that’s serious about care but doesn’t take itself too seriously?

We thought so. Apply now and let’s talk about your future with Helia Healthcare.
