Registered Nurse, Adult Family Care (3985)

Are you a professional, compassionate nurse looking for a flexible part-time opportunity? Join our Adult Family Care team, where you’ll support and build meaningful relationships with families in a role that fits your schedule.

In this position, most nurses visit their assigned families every other month at times that work for both the nurse and the family. While the ideal caseload is 10–11 families, new team members typically start with fewer.
