Registered Nurse - Float Pool

Are you looking to make a difference by improving the health of our patients? Here you will find an innovative culture that is patient-focused and dedicated to making a difference. We are committed to helping the population we serve, and our communities, achieve optimum health and enjoy the best quality of life possible.

The Registered Nurse - Float Pool will provide nursing care to a wide variety of patients within Bassett Healthcare Network (BHN). During every shift, the RN will be a member of a nursing team that provides direct nursing care to a specific unit within the hospital. It is quite conceivable that a RN may start their shift in one unit and then based on a change in census and acuity be transferred or moved to a different unit to meet operational requirements. However, it is possible that an RN may spend extended periods of time in one nursing unit to help balance off long-term absences (i.e. illness, holidays, maternity leave, etc.). While working within a nursing unit the RN acts as a patient advocate and facilitates communication between the patient, family and other health care professionals. This will result in a holistic approach to planning, organizing, teaching and relationship development that will best meet the needs of the patient. Based on patient census and acuity throughout BHN the incumbent may be required to provide standardized nursing care to any and/or all of the nursing units within the scope of a RNs practice. This scope includes medical-surgical, telemetry and acute care (i.e. emergency department).
