  • Perform frequent patient assessments and monitor cardiac rhythms, oxygenation, and vital signs
  • Administer medications, IV therapies, and treatments per provider orders
  • Care for patients with cardiac, respiratory, neurological, and post‐surgical conditions
  • Recognize early signs of deterioration and escalate care appropriately
  • Collaborate with physicians, ICU teams, and interdisciplinary care partners
  • Educate patients and families on diagnoses, treatments, and recovery plans
  • Maintain patient safety, infection control, and quality‐of‐care standards
  • Document assessments, interventions, and outcomes accurately in the medical record

What We’re Looking For

  • Active RN license in the state of practice
  • Minimum of 1 year of recent PCU, SDU, Telemetry, or ICU RN experience required
  • BLS certification required (ACLS preferred)
  • Strong assessment, cardiac monitoring, and critical‐thinking skills
  • Ability to manage higher‐acuity patients in a fast‐paced environment
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Calm, confident clinical judgment

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
You’ll care for complex patients at a key point in their recovery—while enjoying the flexibility of per diem scheduling with consistent 8‐hour day or night shifts .
