RN Charge Nurse – Day Shift | $35–$42/Hour + $1,000 Sign-On Bonus | Apex Recovery Columbia

Looking for a day-shift RN Charge Nurse role with competitive pay, a sign-on bonus, and scheduling flexibility?

We’re hiring an RN Charge Nurse for our Columbia residential recovery facility. The primary need is days, and we offer flexible scheduling options so the role can work with your life. You’ll earn $35–$42 per hour plus a $1,000 sign-on bonus.

Why This Role Stands Out

As Charge Nurse at Apex Recovery Columbia, you’ll lead the nursing team on your shift while still providing hands-on care in a supportive residential setting focused on addiction and behavioral health recovery. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, have clear expectations, and benefit from scheduling flexibility that helps protect work-life balance.

What You’ll Do

Under the Nurse Manager, you’ll oversee day-to-day nursing operations and deliver direct patient care. Key responsibilities include:

• Supervising and supporting LPNs and other nursing staff on the shift
• Assessing clients’ physical and behavioral health needs and ensuring individualized care plans are followed
• Administering medications safely (including controlled substances), monitoring response, and maintaining accurate documentation
• Coordinating admissions, discharges, and shift reports
• Educating clients and families on medications, side effects, and recovery support
• Partnering with therapists, physicians, and program staff in treatment team meetings
• Monitoring acuity, staffing needs, and ensuring a safe, respectful environment that meets Apex policies and accreditation standards

What We Offer

• $35–$42 per hour
• $1,000 sign-on bonus (day shift)
• Flexible scheduling available
• Opportunity to lead while remaining clinically involved
• Supportive, collaborative team culture
• Mission-driven work in a residential recovery setting
• Structured processes and clear expectations
• Competitive benefits (discussed during the interview process)

What You Bring

• Current, active RN license
• Charge nurse or supervisory experience preferred
• Experience in addiction medicine, behavioral health, or residential treatment strongly preferred
• Valid driver’s license
• Strong clinical, leadership, and communication skills
• Comfort with computers and electronic documentation
• Ability to handle sensitive information confidentially
• Physical ability to move throughout residential settings and lift up to 25 lbs (reasonable accommodations available)

Standard Expectations

• Complies with organizational policies, procedures, performance improvement initiatives and maintains organizational industry policies regarding confidentiality.
• Complies with State, Federal, and Joint Commission regulations.
• Communicate clearly and effectively to the person(s) receiving services and their family members, guests, and other members of the healthcare team.
• Develops constructive and cooperative working relationships with others and maintains them over time.
• Encourage and build mutual trust, respect and cooperation amongst team members.
• Maintains regular and predictable attendance.
