Registered Nurse (2nd Shift Clinic)

Leave the hospital behind without leaving nursing behind!

Are you an experienced RN looking for a change from traditional hospital nursing? Interested in using your clinical skills in a more independent, relationship-focused environment while making a meaningful impact on employee health and safety?

Medcor is looking to hire a full-time Registered Nurse (RN) to join our onsite occupational health team at a large manufacturing facility in Waterloo, Iowa.

Location: Waterloo, IA
Position Type: Full-Time
Schedule: 2:30pm–11:00pm, Second Shift
Work Environment: Employer-Based Occupational Health Clinic

This is a great opportunity for an RN with experience in emergency medicine, urgent care, occupational health, or other fast-paced clinical settings who is ready to explore a different side of nursing.

As an Occupational Health Nurse, you'll serve as a trusted healthcare resource for employees, providing first aid, injury assessment, urgent care-style treatment, and employee wellness support. You'll work closely with onsite Safety and Human Resources teams to help employees stay healthy, safe, and productive.

One of the best parts? You'll have the autonomy to manage patient care independently while still having the support of Medcor's clinical leadership, Medical Directors, and operations team.

What You'll Do

Clinical Care & Injury Management

• Assess, triage, and treat occupational and nonoccupational injuries and illnesses.

• Respond to workplace medical emergencies, providing initial assessment, stabilization, and coordination of emergency services when needed.

• Deliver patient care using Medcor's established evidence-based treatment protocols.

• Document patient encounters accurately using electronic medical records (EMR).

• Assist with workers' compensation claims, case management, and return-to-work coordination.

• Support OSHA recordkeeping, injury tracking, and regulatory documentation.

• Perform reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol testing in accordance with established policies and procedures.

Employee Health & Wellness

• Provide health education, wellness coaching, and preventive care support to employees.

• Promote workplace injury prevention, healthy lifestyle initiatives, and employee wellness programs.

• Educate employees on treatment plans, self-care, and return-to-work expectations.

• Support occupational health screenings, medical surveillance programs, and other employee health initiatives.

• Coordinate additional healthcare services, including travel health visits, as needed.

Collaboration & Communication

• Partner with onsite Safety, Human Resources, and management teams to support employee health and workplace safety.

• Build strong relationships with employees and client leadership through exceptional communication and patient care.

• Collaborate remotely with Medcor's Operations Managers, Medical Directors, and clinical support teams.

• Maintain patient confidentiality while ensuring timely and professional communication with appropriate stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license valid for practice in Iowa.

• Current CPR/BLS certification through the American Heart Association.

• Strong clinical assessment, triage, and critical thinking skills.

• Ability to work independently and make confident clinical decisions.

• Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.

• Proficiency with electronic medical records and basic computer applications.

• Ability to lift and move up to 50 pounds.

• A positive, patient-focused attitude and a commitment to delivering exceptional care.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in occupational health, emergency medicine, urgent care, case management, industrial medicine, or workers' compensation.

• Previous experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or production environment.

• COHN, COHN-S, or related occupational health certification.

• Additional certifications such as American Red Cross Instructor, NIOSH Spirometry, CAOHC, or Mental Health First Aid.

Don't have occupational health experience? That's okay! Nurses with strong clinical backgrounds and an interest in workplace healthcare are encouraged to apply.
