Clinical Nurse B-FIT

Loma Linda • Murrieta, CA

6d • $55 - $74

About The Position

The Clinical Nurse B-Flexible Integrated Team (FIT) is part of the Loma Linda University Medical Center-Murrieta float pool. The FIT nurse has a home department and is reassigned to patient-care departments where additional staffing is needed, including to cover sick calls, vacations, federal and state legislative leaves, or vacancies. The nurse exhibits flexibility and accepts assignments where needed.

Using discretion and independent judgment, the nurse prioritizes, coordinates, provides, and documents direct and indirect age-specific, developmentally appropriate, quality patient-centered care in a fast-paced environment. The nurse carries out the nursing process—assessment, care planning, intervention, and evaluation—with minimal supervision and in accordance with the Professional Practice Model (Duffy's Quality Caring Theory), supporting individualized physical, psychosocial, and spiritual wellness and providing compassionate bereavement support as appropriate.

The position works in a skills-mix environment and delegates tasks to unlicensed staff within their scope of practice. The nurse applies theoretical concepts to clinical practice, develops knowledge and clinical skills in their specialty, and meets the qualifications, licensure, certifications, competencies, and staffing requirements specified in the department’s Plan for Providing Care (PPC). The role requires professionalism, strong interpersonal skills, customer service, and safe patient care, and contributes to a caring and cooperative environment among a culturally diverse workforce and patient population. Other duties may be assigned as needed.
