Job description

Your job is more than a job. Med‑Surg nursing is the backbone of every hospital, and it’s not for everyone. Thankfully, you’re not everyone. Your calling as a Med Surg nurse means your unwavering passion, mental toughness, heart of gold, and yes, mad skills make you an invaluable asset. You love being on the front line of care and getting to know your patients as real people.

You sweat the small stuff and bring all you’ve got to every patient’s bedside, call light, hand hold, chart entry, medical need, team request, family request and yes, even the proverbial Jello request. You love the range of nursing skills it demands, and that there’s “never-a-dull-moment.” And that’s what we love about you.

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this hands‑on, diverse nursing role.

Your Everyday

• Take the lead: prioritizing, coordinating, and delegating all care touchpoints for your patients.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary team members to ensure appropriate direct patient care.
• Maintain and advocate a safe environment for everyone.
• Monitor and engage with your patients, families, and appropriate care team members concerning significant events, patient condition changes, or patient questions and concerns.
• Prevent and treat wounds.
• Monitor and execute Joint Commission infection control and environment of care requirements.
• Ensure continuity of care, efficient throughput, consistent communications, and an exceptional experience for every patient.
• Advise and consult with supervisor when unable to complete assignments or perform tasks promptly, effectively, or safely.
• Initiate patient and family education using appropriate resources and continuum of care services.
• Contribute to the team by assisting others without being asked.

The Must‑Haves
