Registered Nurse - Orthopedic/Trauma - RN

Location: Nasseff Tower 8 A/B (NT 8), Orthopedic/Trauma (General Care). Hybrid Care Unit developing inpatient care of the future, today.

Patient Care Type: This is an exciting, newly built unit that is often the first to pilot cutting-edge technologies that enhance patient care and support staff. Mayo Clinic uses feedback from this unit to determine if new technologies or processes will be scaled to additional units in the hospital and across the enterprise. We care for various patients who have orthopedic trauma, spine surgery, hand surgery, orthopedic cancer, and a small amount of total joint replacements. This innovative unit collaborates closely with world-renowned physicians and surgeons, providing crucial support for their complex surgeries.
