Delegating Nurse - RN

Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse (RN) – Memory Care

Make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors while advancing your nursing leadership career at Lorien Harmony Hall's Harmony Park Memory Care neighborhood.

We are seeking an experienced Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse (RN) to serve as the day-to-day clinical nursing leader for our Memory Care team. This role is ideal for a Maryland Registered Nurse with Delegating Nurse, Assisted Living, Memory Care, dementia care, and nursing leadership experience who wants the opportunity to lead a team while remaining closely connected to residents and families.

Reporting to the Health & Wellness Director of Nursing, the Delegating Nurse provides hands-on clinical leadership, oversees resident health and wellness needs, supports safe medication management and nursing delegation, develops team members, and promotes compassionate, person-centered Memory Care.

Strong clinical leadership requires the right support.

Our Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse works alongside a dedicated unit secretary, staffing coordinator, and part-time Delegating Nurse, with leadership and support from Harmony Hall's Health & Wellness Director of Nursing.

The staffing coordinator manages floor staffing and scheduling, while the part-time Delegating Nurse provides additional support with Delegating Nurse responsibilities and documentation.

You'll also partner with our Memory Care Director, a non-clinical leader who supports Life Enrichment, resident engagement, and programming designed specifically around the needs and abilities of our Memory Care residents.

This structure allows you to focus on what matters most: resident care, clinical leadership, team development, family communication, regulatory compliance, and the overall clinical operations of the Memory Care neighborhood.

As the Health & Wellness Delegating Nurse for Harmony Park Memory Care, you will combine clinical oversight, nursing leadership, resident assessment, nursing delegation, medication management, and team development while working closely with the Health & Wellness Director of Nursing and your Memory Care support team.
