Job Description

Description

About this Role

Imagine being the first person to hold a patient's hand as they take their first pain-free step in years.

This is the impact we make every day in Orthopedics.

Our 44-bed Telemetry-capable unit helps patients regain mobility after fractures, injuries, or chronic conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis. Patients on our unit have been long anticipating their surgeries, so you'll be the first witness to their newly gained independence.

Our unit is a great fit for you if you enjoy witnessing rewarding patient outcomes, a predictable workflow, straightforward care as compared to other units that can have a heavier concentration of complex medical comorbidities, and the satisfaction of seeing immediate progress in patients.

What you will do in this role :

• Enjoy predictability and fulfillment in your day– While every patient is unique, orthopedic procedures follow a structured path, allowing for a more predictable workflow for the RN and consistently rewarding results for patients.
• Be a part of our upbeat, engaged nursing team and a critical member and collaborator on our dynamic interdisciplinary team– consisting of the provider, PT, OT, and more. Our team works so well together that we won TWO awards for patient outcomes and collaboration, including the Prism Award and Honorable Mention for HCA Healthcare’s Unit of Distinction.
• Have safe nurse-to-patient ratios and ample staffing support from LVNs, CNAs, an internal facility float pool and more
• Rest assured in knowing you are part of a nationally recognized hospital known for safety and excellence –including an “America’s Top 5% Hospital” by Healthgrades and “Grade A” recipient of the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Award.
• Have every opportunity for career growth into areas like leadership, emergency medicine, surgical services, critical care, and women’s services.
• Consistently apply the nursing process, critical thinking skills, scientific judgment, technical skills and leadership to independently deliver safe nursing care to patients
