The Veterans Home at Holyoke is a state-funded, fully accredited healthcare facility providing quality care to veterans. With over 330 staff members, we offer residential accommodations and educational services for Massachusetts veterans. Our mission is to provide care with dignity, honor, and respect.

This is an open and continuous posting for Full and Part-Time positions on our Evening and Night Shifts.

  • Identify, evaluate, and assess veteran health status; confer with supervising Registered Nurses (RNs) and assigned medical staff for treatment modalities.
  • Recognize urgent or emergency patient care situations; seek assistance of the RN and/or medical staff and initiate appropriate emergency interventions as directed or needed.
  • Collaborate with other resident services personnel to ensure that residents' individual care plans are being followed.
  • Establish constructive relationships with veterans and their families to promote positive relationships and learning.
  • Document incidents with or without adverse effect to the veteran and refer to RN for follow-up and/or investigation.
  • Foster the Veterans Home's mission, vision, and operational policies while maintaining regulatory and department compliance with Joint Commission and state/federal regulations.
  • Maintain personal and professional growth by attending in-services, keeping current with healthcare trends and nursing practices, and participating in committees.

Schedule:

  • We have part-time and full-time benefited opportunities available on our Evening (3:00 pm - 11:30 pm) and our Night (11:15 pm - 7:15 am) shifts.
  • Alternating weekend and holiday schedule.
  • Note: This is a 24-hour/7-days-a-week long-term care facility, and the Holyoke Veterans Home may require this individual to be present during non-traditional hours when circumstances dictate the operational need.

Estimated Salary: $45,000 - $65,000 per year

Required Qualifications:

  • Must possess a current, active license as a practical nurse under the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing.
  • CPR certification through the American Heart Association.
