Triage Nurse

We’re launching a new nurse-led triage model inside a large senior-focused community with an on-site primary care clinic. The goal is simple but powerful: deliver the right care at the right time—without defaulting to 911 or unnecessary ER visits.

As the Triage RN, you’ll be the clinical decision-maker when residents activate their emergency response system, using real-time assessment, judgment, and care coordination to guide next steps.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to emergency response (PERS) alerts and conduct real-time nurse triage via phone/video
• Rapidly assess symptoms, acuity, medical history, and risk factors
• Determine appropriate disposition:
• • EMS activation when clinically necessary
  • Same-day clinic visits
  • Home-based urgent visits
  • Telehealth evaluation
• Coordinate directly with on-site providers and care teams
• Calm, support, and clearly communicate with seniors during high-stress situations
• Document assessments and decisions clearly and defensibly
• Identify recurring issues and contribute to quality improvement efforts

Who This Role Is For

This role is ideal for an RN who:

• Thrives in autonomous, judgment-driven nursing
• Is calm, confident, and decisive under pressure
• Believes the ER isn’t always the best answer
• Enjoys building something new and meaningful

Required Qualifications

• Active Ohio RN license
• 3–5+ years of RN experience, ideally in:
• • Emergency Department
  • Urgent Care
  • Triage or nurse advice line
  • Geriatrics or complex chronic care
• Strong independent clinical judgment
• Comfort with phone- and video-based assessment
• EMR and documentation proficiency

Preferred Experience

• Telehealth or remote triage programs
• PERS, remote monitoring, or virtual care models
• Community-based or home-based care
• Medicare / Medicaid populations
• Value-based or population health settings

Why This Role Stands Out

• No bedside lifting, rounding, or floor assignments
• Real clinical authority and impact
• Meaningful work with underserved seniors
• Direct influence on patient outcomes and ER utilization
• Opportunity to help shape a scalable care model

Competitive compensation for experienced RNs

Growth potential as the program expands

If you’re an RN who wants to use your judgment, experience, and compassion to make a real difference—this is worth a conversation.
