Case Manager RN

Alright, let's talk about this RN Case Manager job for the Acute Rehab unit at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, MO. I've been placing nurses here for a while, and they run a solid program. This isn't just chart review; you're the central point for patients getting their strength back and figuring out what comes next. You'll work directly with the Rehab Program Director and the Facility Case Management Director.

What you'll be doing

You're the guide for patients and their families through the entire rehab process. That means from day one to the day they leave.

• You give every new patient and their family a full orientation. You'll explain how rehab works here, your role as their case manager, what insurance (including Medicare) will cover, and what their rights are.
• A big part of your job is making sure everyone is on the same page. You coordinate all the education for patients and families, and you keep track of what the rest of the team has covered.
• You make sure families are part of the conversation. You'll facilitate Family Conferences so everyone understands the treatment plans, goals, and progress.
• The core of it is managing each patient's rehabilitative care to make sure they get the best possible outcome.

What you need to have

They're looking for an RN who gets rehab. Here are the specifics.

• An active Registered Nurse license is required.
• You need to be certified in Case Management (CCM) or Accredited Case Manager (ACM), or you must get that certification within your first year of starting.
• A Bachelor's degree in Nursing (BSN) is required.
• At least 3 years of clinical nursing experience is necessary.
• Experience in rehabilitation nursing is strongly preferred.

The schedule & pay

This is a full time position working days. The schedule is Monday through Friday. They offer a competitive salary that aligns with your experience, plus shift differentials where they apply.

The benefits (they're extensive)
