About The Position
Highland Hospital is opening a newly renovated 20-bed Acute Medicine Unit in November 2026 and is seeking experienced and passionate nurses to join the team from the beginning. The unit aims to foster a supportive, valued, empowered, and proud environment for nurses. The RN provides professional nursing services, collaborates with healthcare providers to achieve patient outcomes, and improves the care environment. Nurses utilize the nursing process and evidence-based practice to coordinate and provide direct care. All positions operate within five core performance domains: Clinical Practice, Service Excellence, Professional Development and Professional Communication and Behaviors, Research and Evidence Based Practice, and Organization Contributions. The Level III RN is accountable for expert patient care, including service to patients with complex needs. This role involves increased responsibilities such as staff orientation, patient care coordination, shift charge nurse duties, and potentially an expanded unit role. The Level III nurse supports peers, models appropriate communication, documents care reflecting patient condition and priorities, and aids in team problem-solving. They identify opportunities for self-growth and contribute to the development of others. This role also contributes to a safe unit environment by interpreting policies, sharing new evidence, adhering to standards, and supporting care efficiencies. The Level III nurse identifies potential problems and demonstrates enhanced critical decision-making and conflict management skills, participating in educational activities that support evidence-based care.
