More about St Vincent De Paul
The organization is part of the broader Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization dedicated to person-to-person service for neighbors in need. The Phoenix nursing role is embedded within a social services and recuperative care environment rather than a traditional clinical setting. The Registered Nurse position at Ozanam Manor involves approximately 20 hours per week providing direct medical and mental health recuperative care to Veterans under a VA Medical Recuperative Care Contract, with the remaining time dedicated to broader healthcare oversight for the program's resident population. This includes consulting with program staff on resident medical concerns and providing more direct oversight for residents with high medical needs. The role reports to the Program Manager and is classified as full-time, exempt. This is a unique nursing opportunity that blends clinical practice with social services, serving a highly vulnerable and complex patient population in a non-hospital setting.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul's mission is to be 'a network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.' Core values include holiness of life, service of the poor, humility, simplicity, community of faith, and charity. The organization is Catholic in character but open to all who wish to serve their neighbors. No work of charity is foreign to the Society, and it focuses on person-to-person assistance that promotes human dignity and integrity.

Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
