Job Title: Registered Nurse Profession: Nursing Specialty: Medical Surgical Duration: 13 weeks Shift: 12 Hour Day/Night Rotate Hours per Shift: 12 hours Experience: Minimum 1 year License: Registered Nurse License Certifications: BLS Certification Must-Have: 1 year of experience is required. First-time travelers will be accepted. Description: This position is for a Registered Nurse in a Medical Surgical unit. The unit has 48 beds. Nurse-to-Patient Ratios are 1:5-7 on days and 1:6-8 on nights. Common diagnoses include pneumonia, urinary tract infections, altered mental status, gastrointestinal bleeding, alcohol withdrawal, and falls/weakness. RNs are required to titrate drips, with some exceptions. Common titratable and set rate drips include heparin, bumetanide, and furosemide. There are charge nurses on each shift, with two on day shifts who will have a patient assignment. At night, if there is only one charge nurse, they do not take a patient assignment. There are nurse aides or patient care technicians on this unit, with an average ratio of 1 aide to 10-12 patients. Aides are responsible for taking vitals, performing blood glucose monitoring, EKGs, applying heart monitors, assisting with bathing, feeding, toileting, and turning and positioning patients. Respiratory therapy will administer breathing treatments, inhalers, and manage respiratory equipment such as BiPAP, CPAP, and high-flow oxygen. Registered Nurses typically monitor respiratory equipment but are not required to perform checks. Monitor technicians are present and read and monitor telemetry, alerting nurses to any issues. Nurses are not expected to read and interpret telemetry strips. Shifts are from 7 AM to 7 PM for nurses and 6 AM to 6 PM for aides. There is no self-scheduling or block scheduling; the manager creates the schedule. Traveling nurses must be flexible and assist in filling gaps in the regular schedule. Travelers are required to work every other weekend and may be asked to participate in holiday rotation. There is no call or standby requirement for this role. The role may involve floating to other medical surgical units or intermediate care for lower acuity patients. The required scrubs for Registered Nurses are navy blue. The dress code also specifies ceil blue for patient care technicians. There will be one day designated for unit-specific orientation with an educator and one day with a preceptor.
