At Active Day - You Make a Difference!

Per-Diem

What sets Active Day Nurses apart from others? You care for our members without working 12-hour shifts, being on call, staying late daily and working with increased patient ratios that change day-to-day and, at times, unsafely.

At Active Day - you provide "true care" to your members. You will "get to know" your members and provide the person-centered care you've always wanted to provide. You will rarely be required to handle acute care conditions day-to-day, and most centers will have aides to assist you as needed.

Unlike hospitals and residential care, you will have manageable duties. You will become familiar with your members' healthcare needs and have various support personnel that you can trust and rely on!

As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to participate in benefits programs, including:

• Paid Time Off ("PTO")
• Medical/Vision
• Dental
• 401(k)
