Job description

Position Summary

At East Alabama Medical Center, our mission is high quality, compassionate health care, and that statement guides everything we do. We set high standards for customer service, quality, and keeping costs under control. The registered nurse is responsible for assessing, evaluating, and delegating the delivery of skilled patient care. The focus of assessment and intervention is based on a presenting chief complaint and acuity, using a specialized approach unique to the emergency nurse. ED nurses work in a stressful, fast‑paced, time‑constrained environment where they integrate evidence‑based knowledge, make rapid assessments, make critical decisions, and perform life‑saving interventions, all while using prioritization and multitasking. ED nurses require a skill set that is beyond that of a traditional nurse. This skill set is specific to our environment and includes the care of a wide variety of patients. The ED nurse should be competent in caring for patients across the age continuum and requires a fluid and continuous process of education, skill refinement, knowledge procurement, and risk recognition. The ED nurse has continuous interaction with physicians, patients, family members, other care areas, and management. The ED nurse is held to the ANA code of ethics and is held accountable for the improvement of patient care.
