PRN Registered Nurse (Alerts)
In the U.S., 60% of adults – more than 133 million people – live with at least one chronic condition. These patients need frequent, proactive support to stay healthy, yet our care system isn’t built for that level of attention. With rising clinician shortages, strained infrastructure, and reactive care models, patients too often end up in the ER or the hospital when those outcomes could have been prevented.
At Cadence, we’re building a better system. Our mission is to deliver proactive care to one million seniors by 2030. Our technology and clinical care team extend the reach of primary care providers and support patients every day at home. In partnership with leading health systems, Cadence consistently monitors tens of thousands of patients to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and help patients live longer, healthier lives.
Cadence Health is seeking a PRN Registered Nurse responsible for monitoring and triaging patients based on vital signs and clinical alerts, and for supporting patient treatment plans and medication management in collaboration with Cadence Nurse Practitioners and the patient’s physician. PRN staff provide coverage when regularly scheduled team members are unavailable due to vacation, sick leave, or continuing medical education. This role includes coverage across day, night, weekend, and holiday shifts.
Licensure Requirements
- ActiveCompact Multi-State RN license is required.
- An additional RN license in one or more non-compact states.
Schedule Requirements:
- Minimum of 4 shifts a month (if needed), with priority for nights/weekends if offered.
- Coverage of 2 nights per quarter or 1 weekend per quarter.
- Coverage of 2 holidays per year.
What you'll do:
- Respond to inbound patient clinical questions and escalations by phone (and/or text message).
- Follow standardized triage protocols for incoming calls and escalate appropriately (e.g. Schmitt - Thompson clinical telephonic triage guidelines). This can range from directing the patient to their clinic after-hours call line for non-urgent needs to sending the patient to the ER and/or dialing 911 for emergencies.
- Support clinical documentation for the patients’ Cadence care team (NP, RN, and Patient Success); including documenting patient case notes in the Cadence platform and logging tickets/follow-up tasks in ZenDesk (dedicated ZenDesk training provided).
- Follow up with patients with abnormal readings to gather more information on their clinical status and triage appropriately.
- Monitor patient vitals, symptoms, and labs to identify patients in need of clinical interventions and appropriate escalation.
- Clinical documentation on alert resolution/follow-ups in the Cadence platform.
- Additional administrative support as needed: Follow up with patients who need rescheduling, reach out to patients who have had lapses in taking their vitals, and other administrative work.
- Ensure every healthcare interaction with Cadence is an exceptional experience that prioritizes the well-being of the patient and aligns with the goals of our health system partners.
What you need:
- An active RN compact multi-state license, at least one additional RN license in a non-compact U.S. state, and a willingness to obtain additional state licensure as Cadence expands into new markets.
- 3+ years of experience treating patients with chronic conditions including CHF, Hypertension, and/ or Diabetes patients either in an outpatient or inpatient setting.
- Passion for the patient/customer experience and systematically improving healthcare with digital innovation.
- Independent thinker/operator (comfortable working in a less structured environment).
The anticipated compensation range for this role is $35 to $40 per hour, with an additional $10 per hour for night shifts, which is based on role scope, level, and location. This position is remote and based in the United States. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, skills, internal equity, and applicable law.
