RN - Registered Nurse

Registered Nurse (RN) – Skilled Nursing and Subacute Rehabilitation

Elderwood is seeking Registered Nurses to join our skilled nursing and rehabilitation team. This is more than a traditional long-term-care nursing position. Our RNs care for long-term residents and short-stay rehabilitation patients transitioning from hospital to home, creating an environment with meaningful clinical variety, interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to strengthen your assessment and technical skills.

You will provide direct nursing care, coordinate with providers and rehabilitation professionals, guide CNAs, respond to changes in condition, and develop relationships with residents and families that often extend beyond a brief hospital encounter.

Whether you are an experienced post-acute nurse, coming from a hospital or another clinical setting, or looking to build your skilled nursing experience, Elderwood at Cheektowaga offers an opportunity to remain clinically engaged while making a visible difference in recovery, comfort, safety, and quality of life.

A staff RN position at Elderwood can be both meaningful clinical practice today and a foundation for future growth. Registered Nurses may have opportunities to develop as preceptors, RN Supervisors, Unit Managers, Nurse Educators, ADONs, DONs, and other clinical leaders. Tuition-reimbursement and professional-development programs are available to eligible employees pursuing continued education and career advancement.

If you want an RN position that combines clinical variety, team leadership, interdisciplinary practice, and meaningful relationships, we would like to meet you. Apply today to join the nursing team at Elderwood.
