Description: The Clinical Resource Unit is committed to our Nursing Professional Practice Model. We believe in caring relationships with our patients, families, community, and colleagues to provide exceptional care. In this unit, dedicated nursing staff, nurse leaders, interdisciplinary team members, and physician partners provide specialized medical and nursing care to various inpatient units. Medical diagnoses include but are not limited to coronary artery disease, angina, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, dysrhythmia, syncope, congestive heart failure, strokes, cancer, cellulitis, post-surgical care, and chest pain. The environment is fast-paced, exciting, and always evolving. Responsibilities include performing all duties required by the unit specific to the scope of service. Nurses implement procedures and theories related to the specific area of practice. Maintaining up-to-date and accurate documentation of nursing care provided is essential. An initial assessment is completed upon patient admission, and an appropriate plan of care is developed based on patient and family needs. Nurses implement and modify the plan of care based upon continuous evaluation. Taking responsibility for patient and employee safety by reporting and/or correcting safety hazards and incidents is essential. Effective communication with colleagues is necessary to resolve issues. Providing constructive feedback to assist in the professional development of peers is encouraged. Nurses confer with colleagues to expand their knowledge base and identify their own learning needs. Floating to various inpatient units is required, and providing direct nursing care while collaborating with multidisciplinary team members is essential. Conducting and documenting assessments, nursing diagnoses, planning, implementing, and evaluating patient care is a core responsibility. Acting as a resource to staff from various units is expected. Coordinating care with multidisciplinary team members ensures the highest possible quality of patient care. Nurses manage the care of acute and chronically ill cardiac and pulmonary patients. Collaboratively identifying patient goals of care and designing and maintaining care plans with patients and families is important. Implementing interventions as needed, including medication administration and evaluation of effects, is part of the role. Preparing patients for procedures, providing pain management, performing IV venipuncture, administering blood, and monitoring labs is required. Discharging patients and providing instruction for a safe transition from the hospital is part of the job. All care must be documented using EMR. Ensuring team huddles occur and attending them is necessary. Nurses must delegate with appropriate follow-up. All basic care such as turning, toileting, etc., should be performed per standards of care. Handling conflict management while maintaining professional communication with team members is expected. Providing post-operative care for the complex surgical population is a key responsibility.
