More about The Highlands at Owasso
Posted LPN and RN patterns include 7A–7P days along with 2–10, 6–2, weekend doubles, part-time evenings, and full-time weekend options; day-to-day expectations cover care plans, orders, medications and treatments, infection control, and incident documentation, with LTC experience preferred. Staffing data on file shows total nurse hours per resident day around 4.20 (above the national average), with most of that in CNA hours and a lighter RN hour share. Families and reviews talk about compassionate staff and a clean, well-maintained building with private suites and an activity center. Pay figures in public estimates run roughly $23.25–$31.50/hr for day LPN/RN roles and a community post has mentioned a $3,000 sign-on, but those are not locked-in employer statements—ask directly. One clear pressure point: reported turnover near 69% overall and about 71% for RNs. Owasso itself is a short drive from Tulsa, with small-town livability, relatively low cost of living, and a need for your own car. Oklahoma is a compact-license state if you already hold a multistate license.
