We are small but mighty. As such we are the Code 99,Rapid Response, Fall and IV team. We care for the usual mixture of medical patients, telemetry patients and our surgical patients include orthopedics, urology, some gyn and general surgery. We also care for some progressive care level patients. These patients would be those who are thought to need a progressive level of care for just a short time but not felt to be unstable or imminently needing ICU level of care. Those more intense patients would be transferred to an ICU/ER within network. We do have written protocols in place to provide supportive care while transfer arrangements are being made. We would never ask a staff member to work outside of their skill set but would provide support and an opportunity for learning. Of note we have 24/7 hospitalist coverage dedicate solely to our unit.
This group is very approachable and supports a culture of teamwork and professional growth. They value our nursing team and our contributions to excellent patient care.

Additional Unit Specific Information:
As a Critical Access Hospital our current max unit census is 25 within17 rooms. There are 4 private rooms (1 End of Life room and 3 isolation rooms). Other semi-private rooms are set up to support negative pressure as well. When we as managers are not present there are house supervisors who watch over all of the units. One of us is always on call and will come in to provide support when needed. We have 24/7 lab and xray support as well. We are looking for experienced critically thinking staff members who are able to integrate quickly into our team to support our mission, vision and values.
