Registered Nurse position at Mission Healthcare providing home health services. Conducts patient assessments, develops individualized care plans, provides counseling to patients and families, and identifies discharge planning needs. Per Diem schedule M-F with weekends. Territory covers Banning, Beaumont, Redlands, and Loma Linda, CA.
Neighborhoods+Nurses taking a job at Loma Linda University Medical Center are steered first to buy in Loma Linda itself or neighboring Redlands, which Inland Empire Reddit commenters rank as the best nearby house-hunting cities, ahead of Rancho Cucamonga, Eastvale, Rialto, and Moreno Valley. The city covers only about nine square miles and is not described as a patchwork of named internal districts; stock is apartment communities, condos, and single-family rentals with Interstate 10 and the 215 close. About 67 percent of residents rent, so many also look at Grand Terrace apartments a few minutes away, or at Colton and Redlands for more housing, dining, and errands. It functions as a compact campus-and-suburb town rather than a set of branded neighborhoods.

Getting around+U.S. News reports an average commute of about 16.98 minutes, and people who work at the medical center or university typically have even shorter, less congested drives than the wider Inland Empire. Interstate 10 borders the city and the 215 is close, which is how most hospital staff get around; walkability is scored 60/100, drivability 80/100, and public transit only 30/100, so a car is the default. San Bernardino International Airport is about 5 miles north and Ontario International Airport about 20 miles west. These sources do not describe hospital parking lots or campus shuttles.

Outdoors+Hulda Crooks Park is the named in-town trail hub, with walking paths between homes, mountain biking in Loma Linda’s hills, and views of the San Bernardino Mountains. City parks listed for visitors include Loma Linda Large Dog Park, Elmer Digneo Park, and Leonard Bailey Park. A short drive reaches Box Springs Mountain Peak and the 3,400-acre Box Springs Mountain Reserve overlooking Riverside and Moreno Valley. Sources frame outdoor life as hiking, biking, and park time rather than lakes or rivers inside city limits.

Loma Linda is a nine-square-mile Inland Empire campus town about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, defined by Loma Linda University Medical Center—known for transplants, neonatal care, and cancer—and a Seventh-day Adventist Blue Zone (more than 9,000 members) that prizes plant-based eating and longevity. For a nurse, the draw is proximity: average commutes near 17 minutes, Interstate 10 on the border, the 215 close, and airports about five and 20 miles away. About 67 percent of residents rent; September 2026 apartment averages are $875 studio, $1,480 one-bed, and $2,080 two-bed, while median homes run about $562,000 to $600,000. Locals buy first in Loma Linda or Redlands, then Rancho Cucamonga, Eastvale, Rialto, or Moreno Valley; Grand Terrace is cited for apartments. Families use Redlands Unified (Niche A), Bryn Mawr Elementary, and Loma Linda Academy in a city with below-average crime. Off-shift means Hulda Crooks Park, Box Springs Mountain Reserve, vegetarian restaurants including Masala Indo-Pak, and Redlands breweries and Oktoberfest. Tradeoffs include no liquor stores, nightlife in other cities, limited transit, hot summers, and fire, flood, and earthquake risk.
