The normal length of stay on the unit for patients is typically 3-5 days. This is an ideal opportunity for an individual who is dedicated to providing a caring, therapeutic environment and who enjoys working in a team atmosphere. We provide a variety of training, including but not limited to Crisis Intervention, CPR, Diagnosis and Behaviors, Ethics, and Confidentiality. Each team member contributes to the completeness and confidentiality of clinical records by ensuring documentation, paperwork, and system entries meet internal and external guidelines for content, accuracy, and timeliness.

  • Ensures implementation of the daily schedule that meets patients' needs and interests.
  • Performs safety checks at a minimum of 15-minute intervals on patients in accordance with policy and procedure or as directed by the supervisor.
  • Supervises patients during fresh air breaks and visitation periods.
  • Remains knowledgeable of admission/discharge status, patient level and privileges/restrictions, special information, treatment plan, and unusual events.
  • Performs and documents vital signs on patients, under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse.

Qualifications

  • Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), or Paramedic (PMD) certification is preferred.
  • One year of experience working in direct patient care is preferred.
  • Excellent customer service skills are essential and this individual must be able to interact appropriately with internal and external customers, including patients, families, caregivers, community service providers, supervisory staff, and other department professionals
