Nurse Hospital Care - Surgery RN

Registered Nurse (RN) - Medical-Surgical

We are seeking compassionate, skilled, and dedicated Registered Nurses (RNs) to join a strong Medical-Surgical team in a permanent, direct-placement opportunity in Columbia, South Carolina. This is not a contract or travel nursing position. This is a direct-hire opportunity designed for nurses who are looking for stability, competitive compensation, excellent benefits including a pension, and a long-term career path with an organization that values professional growth and leadership development.

The ideal candidate will enjoy working in a collaborative Medical-Surgical environment where nurses have the ability to self-schedule shifts, receive support from additional nursing staff throughout the shift, and work as part of a team committed to high-quality patient care.

Position Responsibilities

The Registered Nurse will provide safe, compassionate, and evidence-based nursing care to patients in a Medical-Surgical setting.

Responsibilities include:

Assess patients and develop, implement, and evaluate individualized plans of care.

Administer medications and treatments safely and accurately.

Monitor patient conditions and recognize changes in clinical status.

Perform nursing assessments and document patient care appropriately.

Collaborate with physicians, advanced practice providers, nursing staff, and other members of the healthcare team.

Provide patient and family education regarding diagnoses, medications, treatments, and discharge instructions.

Coordinate patient care and communicate effectively with the interdisciplinary team.

Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation.

Follow hospital policies, procedures, infection-control standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Participate in quality-improvement and patient-safety initiatives.

Advocate for patients and promote a safe, respectful, and healing environment.

Provide appropriate supervision and delegation of care in accordance with applicable nursing standards and regulations.

Maintain professional knowledge and competency through continuing education and professional development.

Qualifications

Current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license that authorizes practice in South Carolina.

Graduate of an approved/accredited nursing education program.

Successful completion of the NCLEX-RN as required for RN licensure.

Candidates licensed in another state may be eligible to practice in South Carolina through the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) if they hold a qualifying multistate license.

Candidates who do not qualify for multistate practice must obtain the appropriate South Carolina RN license or temporary license before beginning orientation or practicing as an RN in South Carolina. South Carolina considers orientation to be the practice of nursing.

Current license must be in good standing and free of restrictions that would prevent practice.

Current BLS certification from an accepted provider.

Additional certifications may be required based on the facility, patient population, or specific unit.

Medical-Surgical nursing experience is preferred; qualified RNs with other relevant acute-care experience may also be considered.

Strong clinical assessment, communication, organizational, and critical-thinking skills.

Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
