RN Care Manager
New Orleans, LA, United States
You overthink every care
option

you’re
the hub of your patient's case management and care plan. You assure quality through the continuum of care, collaborate with members of the care team, and implement the plan of care and transition strategies. Achieving the best possible patient outcomes,
appropriate length
of stay, efficient
utilization
of resources, coordination of patient, family, and staff communication and education is the center of your nursing universe.
You give new meaning to a 9 to 5 schedule because caring
doesn’t
stop just because

punched a clock and neither does your innovative brain. If it were your loved one,
you’d
expect nothing less, so you give so much more. Gatekeeper, facilitator and decision-maker, and hand-holder, you apply nursing knowledge, logic, and a little “extra” heart into everything you do. We love that about you.
