About The Position

For more than 135 years, St. Mary-Corwin has cared for the people of Pueblo and the surrounding southern Colorado communities. Driven by a commitment to Pueblo and our healing ministry, St. Mary-Corwin is focused on its core areas of clinical strength: cancer care and orthopedic services. This concentration enables St. Mary-Corwin to serve the southern Colorado region with high quality, high value care for generations to come. Residents of Pueblo enjoy a moderate cost of living within this modern, mid-sized community while experiencing everything great about life in Colorado, including world-class nearby outdoor recreation, thriving local arts and culture, numerous parks, festivals and much more. The Orthopedic Surgical unit at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital is a 23-bed unit that is fast-paced and dynamic. We see primarily orthopedic patients, but our census can include trauma, medical, oncology, surgical, and cardiac overflow patients. One wing of our unit is dedicated to an elective total-joint replacement program. This program is wellness-driven, therapy intensive and includes hip, knee, and shoulder replacement patients. The program provides opportunity for multi-disciplinary collaboration with nursing, therapies, and discharge planners. We offer additional opportunities for growth and expansion of nursing skills by floating nurses between hospital service lines and units including Oncology, Intensive Care and the ED. Our mission on the Orthopedics unit is to deliver high quality health care and help our patients to regain optimal activity and function. We look for flexible individuals who offer extraordinary care to our patient population and elevate the excellence of our department and hospital! You have a purpose, unique talents and now is the time to embrace it, live it and put it to work. We value incredible people with incredible skills – but your commitment to a greater cause is something we value even more. This is the heartbeat of our organization and your time will be spent in a supportive, team environment with resources to help you flourish and leaders who care about your success. We value our incredible Certified Nursing Assistants and want to ensure they practice at the top of their license to better optimize their skills and experience. We’ve also developed a career path framework for CNAs that clarifies paths to move, develop and advance CNA careers into nursing and other roles. The Certified Nursing Assistants provides direct and indirect nursing care under the direction of a RN and in accordance with policies and procedures.
