Evening Nurse Tech (CNA) – Hillcrest Shadow Lake
Location: Papillion, NEService Line: Hillcrest Shadow LakeSchedule: Evenings | 2:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. | Flexible Start Time Available
Hillcrest Health & Living is looking for compassionate, dependable, and team-focused Nurse Techs (CNAs) to join the evening team at Hillcrest Shadow Lake in Papillion.
If evenings fit your schedule but a 2:00 p.m. start is a little tight, this role offers some flexibility with the start time. The goal is to find strong Nurse Techs who can be there for the most important parts of the evening while providing consistent, high-quality care to residents.
Hillcrest Shadow Lake provides a welcoming senior living environment where residents are supported with dignity, respect, and personalized care. As a Nurse Tech, you’ll play an important role in helping residents feel safe, comfortable, and supported as they move through dinner, personal care, and their evening routines.
At Hillcrest, our mission is simple: Inspiring people to live their best lives. You’ll help bring that mission to life by providing hands-on care, building real relationships, and helping residents maintain as much independence as possible.
What You’ll Do
As a Nurse Tech, you’ll work closely with nurses and other team members to provide person-centered care and support throughout the evening.
You will:
Assist residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, hygiene, and other activities of daily living.
Help with transfers, repositioning, ambulation, and mobility.
Respond promptly to call lights and requests for assistance.
Obtain and document vital signs as directed.
Observe residents for changes in condition, behavior, comfort, or mobility.
Communicate changes or concerns promptly to the nurse.
Assist with meals, snacks, hydration, and evening routines.
Encourage residents to maintain as much independence as possible.
Follow individualized care plans and resident preferences.
Complete required documentation accurately and timely.
Maintain resident privacy, dignity, safety, and confidentiality.
Follow infection-control and safe resident-handling procedures.
Communicate positively with residents, families, nurses, and fellow team members.
Help maintain a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment.
Jump in and help wherever needed to keep the evening running smoothly.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for Nurse Techs who genuinely enjoy helping people and understand that great care is often found in the small things.
You might be helping someone get ready for dinner, noticing that a resident just seems a little “off,” helping with their nighttime routine, or simply taking a few extra minutes to talk. Those moments can make a big difference.
Ideal candidates will have:
A compassionate and respectful approach to resident care.
A friendly, positive, and approachable personality.
Dependability and consistent follow-through.
A genuine interest in working with aging adults.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Ability to recognize and report changes in condition.
Strong attention to safety and individual care needs.
Ability to stay organized in a fast-paced care environment.
A calm and flexible approach when resident needs change.
Strong teamwork and willingness to help wherever needed.
Comfort using electronic documentation and other healthcare technology.
Education & Credentials
Completion of an approved Nursing Assistant course required.
Active Nebraska CNA certification required.
High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
Basic Life Support/CPR certification required or must be obtained within Hillcrest’s established timeframe.
Previous CNA, senior living, assisted living, long-term care, post-acute, or similar experience preferred.
