Remote Triage Nurse (RN) – Overnight

Location: Minnesota – supporting six Vista Senior living communities

Hours: TBD

Vista Senior Living is seeking a skilled Registered Nurse to serve as our overnight Remote Triage Nurse across six assisted living communities in Minnesota. In this role, you are the clinical point person during night hours — assessing changes in resident condition, guiding on-site care staff, making sound escalation decisions, and ensuring residents receive safe, timely, high-quality care when our day clinical teams are off-site. This is a great fit for an RN with strong assessment skills who thrives working independently and making confident decisions.

• Communicate with on-call physicians/NPs, families, and incoming day-shift staff
• Oversee medications and treatments per physician orders as needed
• Lead the clinical response during overnight emergencies
• Document all assessments, interventions, and communications accurately and timely
• Ensure care is delivered in line with Minnesota assisted living regulations (Chapter 144G) and Eden Senior Care policies
• Provide thorough shift handoff reports each morning
