RN 3-12 | Adult Emergency Department | Full Time | Days

Overview: The Registered Professional Nurse (RN) is responsible for providing safe, comprehensive, and patient-centered nursing care. The RN identifies alterations in a patient’s health status, assesses responses to actual and potential health problems, develops and implements appropriate nursing interventions, and evaluates the effectiveness of care to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Whenever possible, the RN actively involves the patient, family members, and significant others in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care. The RN supervises and directs care provided by Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAPs), and appropriately assigns and delegates care to qualified members of the healthcare team. The RN also coordinates patient care with other healthcare professionals and disciplines as needed to ensure continuity and quality of care. The RN contributes to unit-based activities that promote a positive, collaborative, and professional work environment. The RN practices autonomously and accountably, advocates for patients, and supports innovative approaches to patient care while fostering a climate of trust, collaboration, and professional excellence. The RN provides and coordinates care in support of the organization’s mission of delivering excellent patient care and nursing’s vision of setting a new standard of excellence in autonomous and accountable nursing practice.
