Registered Nurse - Clinical Decision Unit

Observation Unit Registered Nurse

Join the remarkable team on the Observation Unit at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, where you'll experience the fast pace of emergency care with the continuity and teamwork of inpatient nursing. Opened in February 2026, this innovative unit bridges the gap between the Emergency Department and inpatient care, creating a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

As a Registered Nurse on the Observation Unit, you'll care for a diverse patient population requiring short-term inpatient treatment while working alongside a highly collaborative team committed to delivering safe, remarkable care. This role is ideal for nurses with inpatient acute care or Emergency Department experience who thrive in a fast-paced environment, communicate effectively, adapt quickly, and enjoy working as part of a supportive team.

You'll join a culture that values flexibility, collaboration, and helping one another succeed. When census allows, nurses may have the opportunity to float across inpatient units at Presbyterian Medical Center and Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital, further expanding their experience while remaining part of a strong, connected nursing team.

It is the responsibility of every Novant Health team member to deliver the most remarkable patient experience in every dimension, every time.

• Our team members are part of an environment that fosters team work, team member engagement and community involvement.
• The successful team member has a commitment to leveraging diversity and inclusion in support of quality care.
• All Novant Health team members are responsible for fostering a safe patient environment driven by the principles of "First Do No Harm".
