Registered Nurse Med-Surg Spine

Mission Health, based in Asheville, NC, is seeking a compassionate and detail-oriented Registered Nurse for our Med-Surg Spine unit. In this role, you will provide comprehensive, patient-centered nursing care to adult patients with spinal conditions, post-surgical spine cases, and related medical-surgical needs. Working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for initial and ongoing patient assessments, developing and updating individualized care plans, administering medications and treatments, monitoring for changes in patient status, and responding promptly to emergent situations. You will coordinate care with physicians, advanced practice providers, physical and occupational therapists, case management, and other healthcare professionals to support safe, timely recovery and discharge planning. The position involves managing a varied patient assignment, utilizing evidence-based nursing practice, and documenting all care accurately and thoroughly in the electronic health record. You will educate patients and families on surgical procedures, pain management, mobility and spine precautions, medications, and ongoing self-care to promote optimal outcomes and reduce the risk of complications or readmissions. Mission Health fosters a culture of teamwork, respect, and professional growth, so you will actively participate in unit-based councils, performance improvement initiatives, and continuing education opportunities. As a Registered Nurse on the Med-Surg Spine unit, you will serve as a preceptor and resource to newer staff when appropriate, help maintain a safe environment through adherence to infection prevention and patient safety protocols, and uphold Mission Health’s values in every interaction. This opportunity offers the chance to build strong clinical skills in medical-surgical and spine care within a supportive, patient-focused environment, with clear pathways for advancement and ongoing professional development.
