More about RiverWoods Durham
The RN/LPN role here includes real leadership texture—daily assignments, delegation, and supervision of direct caregivers—so you are guiding the shift, not only charting it. Hiring posts list a steady schedule and per diem options across day, evening, and overnight. Pay is stated in the mid-to-high $30s hourly: RN base around $39, LPN base around $34, with differentials on top, and per diem starting about $39.50+/hour including the PD differential depending on experience. Education assistance, wellness and on-site fitness, and an employee meal program show up in the same materials. Reviewers also mention internal promotions and skill development. Staff talk about a caring, mission-focused team. That said, management does not land the same way for everyone, and workload plus staffing can still wear on the balance that flexible scheduling is meant to protect. You need an NH RN or LPN license and CPR; IV certification is preferred.
Mission-focused resident care with an emphasis on teamwork in a long-term care setting.
