Job Description Scope of Position: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's mission is to improve health in Ohio and across the world through innovation in research, education, and patient care. The team provides patient care and supportive services directed towards achievement of positive patient care outcomes, maximizing the patient's involvement in his/her own plan of care and reducing the length of hospitalization. The registered nurse plays a critical role in staff engagement, the patient experience, quality and safety, and cost effective care.

Position Summary: The Registered Nurse is responsible for managing and providing care to the patient and his/her family, and for directing and supervising nursing care provided by other members of the patient care team. The Registered Nurse is responsible for assessing, planning, implementing, coordinating, delegating and evaluating the nursing care of patients in alignment with the professional practice model.

The PCU bridges the gap between these care levels, offering comprehensive monitoring, early intervention, and advanced clinical management to support patient stabilization and recovery.
