Find your calling at Mercy!

The Registered Nurse (RN) utilizes the nursing process to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered care while maintaining professional accountability for assigned patients. The RN evaluates the effectiveness of care provided by other direct caregivers and coordinates patient care collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams. This position upholds patient rights, maintains confidentiality, and performs all duties in alignment with Mercy’s mission, values, and Service Standards.

Position Details:

Our patient ratio on cardiac is 6 patients to 1 nurse. It is a medical/telemetry floor. The main difference in between the Cardiac department and any other medical floor is that we see a few more specialized patients in addition to the typical medical population. For example, we take post op CABG/open heart patients as soon as day 1 following surgery, TAVRs, Watchmen and other post cath-lab intervention patients (stents, AIF, etc.) but they will never have a sheath, they may come to us with a radial band. None of our patients are on vasoactive drips but we do take amio, Cardizem and other cardiac drips and do titrate down to wean but don’t increase the rate on our floor. We don’t do nitro drips. Many of our patients have chest tubes. Acuity is really varied, some patients are simply needing their medications adjusted and must be supervised in the hospital with serial EKGs but otherwise are completely independent, some of our patients are very complex and sick but based on our treatments/interventions are still appropriate for our floor.
