Registered Nurse (RN)

Department Overview

This position is within a MedSurg Pediatric department with a total of 17 beds, which includes 14 inpatient and 3 observation beds. The nurse-to-patient ratios are 1:4 during the day and 1:5 at night.

Qualifications

• Required Certifications: BLS, PALS
• BSN Required: No
• License Required: Yes

Role Responsibilities

• Provide care for both adult and pediatric patients, commonly managing diagnoses such as UTI, altered mental status, pneumonia, and COPD.
• Titrate drips as required, noting that titration for hypertensive/hypotensive medications is not expected. Some electrolytes and diuretics may be used intermittently.
• Coordinate with respiratory therapy primarily for the management of BiPap devices; ventilators are not used in this setting.
• Apply telemetry to patients; nurses will utilize ICU monitors to read strips.

Work Environment

The team consists of 2 nurse aides during the day and 1 at night, with a charge nurse present on each shift who also takes patient assignments. Pediatricians are on call for patient needs, rather than being in-house.

Scheduling and Orientation

• Self-scheduling for shifts; 12-hour shifts from 7 AM to 7 PM or 7 PM to 7 AM.
• Weekend coverage is required as needed, while there is no holiday obligation.
• Thorough orientation includes one day and possibly one night shift for training.

Attributes for Success

Ideal candidates will demonstrate effective communication skills, motivation, approachability, and the ability to work collaboratively within a team. Asking questions when uncertain and adapting to documentation processes will contribute to success in this role.

Additional Notes

• 50-mile radius rule applies; candidates may not work for any associated organizations.
• Request time off is limited to 7 days or fewer per 13-week contract, with no additional requests being approved after submission.
• The cancellation policy allows for up to 4 shifts to be canceled over a 13-week assignment.
