Job description

About the Unit

Big Rapids Campus has a 22‑bed medical surgical unit and a 4‑bed critical care unit. This campus is the perfect place to gain experience as a new nurse and grow your career! The patient population in Big Rapids is very diverse and consists primarily of hospitalist medicine patients with a wide variety of diagnoses, including pneumonia, COPD, cellulitis, kidney failure, and bowel obstructions. These diagnoses provide the opportunity to develop acute‑care skills such as IV placement, chest tubes and NG placement/management. In our critical care unit it is common to see high‑acuity patients with sepsis, hyperglycemia, and respiratory failure whose plan of care would include managing medication drips (insulin, vasopressors, etc.) and utilizing equipment such as ventilators and BIPAPs. Big Rapids has a well‑established team that works collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team that includes hospitalists, care managers, social workers, pharmacy, nurse techs, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to provide quality care for our patients. We have a good mix of experienced RNs that work alongside our education team to provide our new hires and grads with a great onboarding experience. For scheduling we currently have a six‑week rotating core so you can determine ahead of time when to schedule appointments to maintain a good work‑life balance.
