Service Line: Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages
Schedule: 12-Hour Shifts - Nights

Hillcrest Health & Living is looking for an experienced, dependable, and self-directed Float Nurse Tech / Medication Aide to join our team at Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages in Papillion, NE.

Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages is part of the Hillcrest Country Estates campus and provides skilled nursing, long-term care, and post-acute support in a warm, home-like environment. Our cottage model allows team members to build strong relationships with residents, guests, families, and coworkers while providing meaningful, personalized care.

At Hillcrest, our mission is simple: Inspiring people to live their best lives. As a Float Nurse Tech / Medication Aide, you will support that mission by providing direct care, medication support, guest observations, admission support, and flexible coverage across multiple cottages.

What You’ll Do

As a Float Nurse Tech / Medication Aide, you will be an important part of the nursing team. This is a flexible, high-impact role designed for someone who can move between cottages, support admissions, jump in where needed, and help ensure residents and guests receive consistent, high-quality care.

You will:

• Float between cottages based on resident, guest, admission, and staffing needs.

• Provide direct personal care to assigned guests and residents according to their care plans.

• Assist with bathing, dressing, undressing, hygiene care, perineal care, foley or ostomy bag emptying, and barrier ointment application.

• Perform Medication Aide duties, including passing medications when required and within credentialing guidelines.

• Complete and record blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiration, and weight according to facility standards or direction from the interdisciplinary team.

• Assist guests and residents with ordering, receiving, setting up, and eating meals in a comfortable dining environment.

• Complete all care according to the guest or resident care plan.

• Carry pagers and answer call signals timely and professionally to determine and meet guest needs.

• Observe guests and residents for changes in condition, behavior, or needs and report concerns promptly to the nurse.

• Support new admissions and transitions by helping ensure rooms are ready with needed equipment, fresh water, and other supplies.

• Write therapy schedules on guest whiteboards to support meal planning and daily routines.

• Complete transfers by reviewing the appropriate mobility program selected for each guest.

• Develop positive rapport with guests, residents, and families to support an outstanding experience.

• Communicate clearly with nurses, therapy, families, and team members to support safe and consistent care.

• Help maintain clean, organized, and supportive cottage environments.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is experienced, accountable, self-directed, and motivated to put residents and guests first.

The right candidate will be able to step into different cottages with confidence, adjust quickly to changing needs, and stay focused on quality care without needing constant direction. This role is a strong fit for someone who takes ownership, follows through, and understands that a successful care team requires professionalism, respect, flexibility, and a solution-focused attitude.

• A self-directed work style with the ability to see what needs to be done and take appropriate action.

• Flexibility and confidence to float between cottages and support changing priorities.

• Ability to assist with admissions, transitions, and coverage needs across the Cottages.

• A strong commitment to resident and guest dignity, comfort, safety, and quality of care.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to report changes or concerns promptly.

• Strong attention to detail with care plans, vital signs, medication assistance, safety, and documentation.

• A team-first approach with the professionalism to communicate directly, respectfully, and solution-focused.

• The ability to stay calm, flexible, and focused in a fast-paced care environment.

• A positive attitude and commitment to contributing to a respectful, supportive workplace.
