Job description

RN Limited Assignment - Emergency Department - 13-week contract - DAYS

The RN Limited Assignment is a temporary position serving approximately 13 weeks as an RN for the facility. This position assesses, plans, implements, and evaluates patient care based on the standards of care and the policies of LCMC Health. The RN delegates to professional and non-professional personnel involved in the delivery of care.

Let’s be real: ER nursing isn’t a job, it’s a calling. Your connection to your ER, your patients, your team, it’s deep and personal. We love that about you.

You bring all of you to the Emergency Room every shift, every patient. And then, you take a lot of the ER home with you—the tough moments, the hopes, the tears, the possibilities, the unanswered questions, the thank you’s, the heartaches and, yes, even the smiles and laughter.

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this intimate, diverse nursing role.

Your Everyday

• Prioritize, coordinate and delegate all care touchpoints for your patients.
• Maintain and advocate a safe environment for everyone.
• Monitor and engage with patients, families, and appropriate care team members concerning significant events or patient condition changes.
• 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 care services. Address patient questions and concerns.
• Contribute to the team by assisting others without being asked.

The Must-Haves

• Minimum: Current nursing license to practice in the state of Louisiana and as defined by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing
• Current American Heart Association BLS certification.
• Current ACLS, CPI and PALS certifications. (New grad must obtain within 6 months of hire).
• Current TNCC (CHNOLA and UMC ERs only)
• ENPC (can be substitute for PALS at UMC or EJMC ERs)
