State of Arizona

These roles reflect the state's broad mandate to serve Arizonans with intellectual and developmental disabilities, veterans, and Tribal Health members through coordinated, publicly funded healthcare services. Nursing opportunities within the State of Arizona appear to range from full-time complex care management positions to part-time/per diem clinical roles. The Complex Care Nurse role at DES/DDD focuses on care coordination rather than bedside acute care, involving physical health needs assessment and care management for members with I/DD who may also be pregnant or have behavioral health conditions, chronic diseases, or other complex needs. The Veterans' Home position is more clinically oriented, involving medication administration, admission assessments, MDS assessments, and care planning in a long-term care setting for veterans.

Based on the job descriptions, the State of Arizona's nursing roles reflect a mission centered on serving vulnerable populations—including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Tribal Health members, pregnant members with complex conditions, and veterans—through coordinated, member-centered care. The emphasis on care management, communication with residents and families, and interdisciplinary collaboration suggests values of service, advocacy, and comprehensive care coordination.
