About The Position

Provides professional nursing care in an emergency room to patients of all ages and health conditions.

The role delivers care guided by Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring, using caring relationships, uninterrupted moments with patients, and unconditional acceptance and respect. The nurse promotes a mutually respectful, ethical, inclusive professional environment; advocates for patients; mentors nurses new to their roles and supports students; and pursues lifelong learning. The position is patient-facing, on-site, and has no supervisory or budget responsibility.
