If you are interested in gaining the most diverse range of experiences and expertise available at a small, community hospital, Cheshire’s Float Pool Department is for you. The Float Pool is a versatile clinical team that floats across departments, based on patient location and care needs. Staff are oriented to all in-patient units, including the Emergency Department and the Women’s and Children Health Unit, so you could be helping to treat a hockey injury one day and caring for a newborn baby the next.

The Float Pool is fun, in a word. It never gets boring; you meet all of the staff on all units, and they are happy to see you as you are helping them with a staffing need. Meanwhile, you get to develop many skills for each area. Float pool team members have a great relationship: they support each other and are recognized by all staff as an important resource. Under general supervision of the Nursing Team Leader, Clinical Leader and/or the Department Director and under the general direction of the department physicians, you will perform as a member of the healthcare team to apply the nursing process when making nursing judgments and decisions specific to assessment, planning, implementation/delivery, and evaluation of patient care, and documenting relevant data and care processes.

There are three tiers of float pool team members, and the more areas you get oriented to, the better the compensation. You can expect 12-hour shifts, with a schedule that rotates so you can plan your weekends off for months to come. Training for each unit includes orientation checklists and preceptors to orient you, and council membership allows you to help make decisions that support the work you do and your professional growth. Many nurses oriented to the administrative clinical supervisor role have gone on to nurse manager positions.

Qualifications

Must be a currently licensed Registered Nurse in the State of New Hampshire with a minimum of one year nursing experience preferred. Current certification in BCLS is required. Excellent assessment, communication, interpersonal, and organizational/ time management skills are vital. Must demonstrate the ability to work well as a member of a team and respond calmly and effectively in a fast-paced environment and during a crisis and/or emergency. Computer skills also required. May be required to participate in evening, weekend and holiday coverage according to the needs of the department.
