About the Position

TravelNurseSource is working with Magnet Medical to find a qualified Med/Surg RN in Lebanon, New Hampshire, 03756!

A Registered Nurse (RN) in the Float Pool is a versatile and adaptable nursing professional who provides care across various departments or units within a healthcare facility, as needed. Float pool nurses are trained to handle a wide range of patient care situations and are called upon to "float" between different departments, such as medical-surgical, critical care, emergency, pediatrics, or labor and delivery, based on the hospital's staffing needs. This role requires strong clinical skills, the ability to adapt quickly to different environments, and excellent communication and problem-solving abilities.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Patient Care :

   • Provide direct patient care, including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of nursing interventions.
   • Monitor and document patients' vital signs, symptoms, and conditions, and report any changes to the appropriate healthcare team members.
   • Administer medications, treatments, and therapies as prescribed by the physician.
   • Ensure patient safety by following clinical protocols, infection control measures, and providing appropriate interventions to prevent complications.
   • Assist with procedures and treatments in various departments, depending on patient needs and unit assignments.

2. Adaptability Across Units :

   • Work in different patient care settings, adjusting to the needs of diverse patient populations and departments (e.g., med-surg, ICU, ED, pediatrics, labor and delivery).
   • Quickly familiarize oneself with unit-specific protocols, equipment, and workflows.
   • Collaborate with unit teams, providing support wherever staffing shortages or increased patient volume occur.
   • Be flexible with shifting between units and adapting to the varied demands of different patient care areas.

3. Collaboration with Healthcare Teams :

   • Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, other nurses, and healthcare support staff to deliver optimal patient care.
   • Participate in patient rounds, provide updates on patient conditions, and assist in care planning and delivery.
   • Communicate effectively with patients, families, and the healthcare team to ensure continuity of care, informed consent, and patient education.

4. Patient Education :

   • Educate patients and families about diagnosis, treatment plans, medications, and self-care post-discharge.
   • Provide emotional support to patients and families, especially in acute or complex situations.
   • Ensure patients understand their care plans and are prepared for any necessary procedures or discharge instructions.

5. Clinical Documentation :

   • Maintain accurate and thorough documentation of patient assessments, treatments, medications, and care plans in the electronic health record (EHR).
   • Ensure that all patient records are compliant with hospital policies, legal requirements, and confidentiality standards (e.g., HIPAA).

6. Infection Control and Safety :

   • Adhere to infection control guidelines, including proper hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and sterilization practices.
   • Ensure a safe environment for patients, staff, and visitors by following safety protocols and reporting hazards.

7. Emergency and Critical Care Support :

   • Respond quickly to emergency situations (e.g., code blue, trauma) and provide necessary life-saving interventions.
   • Work under pressure, especially in fast-paced environments, to provide critical care to patients in emergency departments, ICUs, or other high-acuity areas.
   • Be prepared to manage and prioritize a high caseload, particularly during staffing shortages or high patient volumes.

8. Staffing Support and Flexibility :

   • Serve as a flexible resource for departments experiencing staff shortages or increased patient volume.
   • Assist with staffing gaps due to absences, vacations, or high patient acuity, while maintaining high standards of patient care.
   • Maintain flexibility to work various shifts, including weekends, nights, and holidays, depending on unit needs.
