DSHS YVS Registered Nurse 2 - RN

Registered Nurse 2

Yakima Valley School Residential Habilitation Center is hiring multiple Registered Nurses to provide compassionate and skilled care for adults with developmental disabilities in a supported living setting. Your work will help people live healthier, more comfortable lives—often in ways they can't easily ask for themselves.

You'll be part of an interdisciplinary team that includes doctors, therapists, caregivers, and other nurses who all share the same goal: giving people the dignity, safety, and support they deserve. The individuals you'll care for may have complex health needs and communicate in different ways, so we're looking for someone who can listen closely, think clearly, and act with empathy.

This role is for someone who's ready to bring clinical skill, sound judgment, and strong communication to a meaningful environment. If you're someone who pays attention and wants to help others thrive, we'd love to see your application.

Please note: We have multiple shifts/schedules available. In the application, you will be asked which shifts you would like to be considered for. Night shift: 9:30PM - 6AM, Swing shift: 1:30PM - 10pm, and on-call. Evening and Night shifts include a shift differential in addition to the standard compensation rate. Opportunities performed on-site at this work location at least three days a week may be eligible for an additional 5% premium pay in addition to the advertised salary.

Some of what you will do:

• Administer medications and treatments as prescribed by a doctor or nurse practitioner. Examples of treatments; enteral feedings, respiratory therapy, skin care and bowel care, IM injections, etc.
• Assess any change in condition and report concerns to the doctor, nurse practitioner, or supervisor.
• Speak with family members/guardians and care teams to share health updates.
• Chart medications, treatments, and health details in the clinical record/Electronic Health Record (EHR) accurately.
• Correctly document, transcribe and implement verbal and telephone physicians orders.
• Record your observations and any important health updates about residents in their clinical record.
• Help in different units around campus when assigned.
• Respond appropriately to emergency situations.

Professionals with a current license to practice as a Registered Nurse in Washington State should apply. Must have graduated from an accredited school of professional nursing and have one year of professional nursing experience or college level nursing education.
