Shift: Licensed Practical Nurse – Med Surg Telemetry – 5 West. Position Details: 5 West is a 40‑bed non‑specialty med‑surg unit caring for patients ages 18 and older. The staff cares for a variety of medical and telemetry patients with acute and/or chronic illness, such as sepsis, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, cardiac disease, and COVID‑19. Staff members will manage titratable drips, chest tubes, tracheostomies, complex wound care, post‑bariatric procedures, high oxygen delivery systems and end‑of‑life care. 5 West is known as the “5 West Wolfpack” because of its outstanding teamwork. Its centralized nursing station allows staff to build camaraderie, learn and grow together. The culture and close‑knit environment on 5 West make this unit ideal for new and experienced nurses. It is the only unit in the hospital to have a Zen room, which features a massage chair, adult coloring books and other materials to support staff who need to reset their mindset. The staff and leaders on our team are passionate about mentoring, professional development, and finding new and innovative ways to care for patients!

5 West leaders support their new staff by providing in‑depth orientation, goal planning, progress meetings and check‑ins 30/60/90 days post‑orientation completion. All new graduate nurses get to attend nurse residency and encompassed in that program is a medical‑surgical fellowship to enhance knowledge on various disease processes for new graduate nurses. 5 West will transition to a team‑based care delivery model in January 2025. Team based care is a group of licensed and unlicensed healthcare professionals working in unison towards a common goal to care for a group of patients. Our team‑based care delivery model consists of Lead Nurses, Registered Nurses, Virtual Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Nursing Assistants. Virtual nurses are incorporated into the team to perform administrative tasks that require an RN license but do not require physical presence (i.e., admission and discharge paperwork, patient education, dual nurse sign offs, etc.). Team based care allows for nurses to work at the top of their scope and effectively uses each team member’s strengths, skills, and experiences as well as promotes teamwork, communication, and leadership.
