RN - PCU

Registered Nurse (RN)

Float Pool RNs are needed to provide care in multiple units including medical-surgical and stepdown settings. Nurses will float to different medical-surgical units, step-down units, rehabilitation units, and emergency department holding areas. The medical-surgical units consist of beds that are all private. Required certifications include BLS, ACLS, as well as NIHSS. The nurse-to-patient ratios vary by unit. Staffing includes a charge nurse and a resource nurse who may take on patient assignments as needed. Nurses will have a rotating weekend requirement and will work into the holiday schedule. Scrubs must be navy blue, and jackets worn must also be navy blue. Telemetry patients may be monitored remotely, and nurses must be comfortable working with both clean and dirty patients. Strong assessment skills and the ability to read and interpret telemetry strips are required. Drips that need to be managed include Cardizem, Nitro, Dopamine, Dobutamine, and Heparin. Patients in the stepdown unit may include those with heavy cardiac issues, dysrhythmias, and CVAs. The facility has a hospitalist in-house 24/7 and intensivists available during the day. There are no dedicated IV teams, but assistance can be requested from nursing leadership for challenging IV access. Respiratory therapy is available in-house 24/7 for patient needs. Nurses will have the opportunity for self-scheduling, allowing for flexible work arrangements when unit needs are met.
