This position is on a 22-bed medical-surgical unit and a 4-bed critical care unit at the Big Rapids Campus. This is an ideal place for a new nurse to gain experience and grow their career. The patient population is diverse, primarily consisting of hospitalist medicine patients with various diagnoses such as pneumonia, COPD, cellulitis, kidney failure, and bowel obstructions. This offers opportunities to develop acute care skills including IV placement, chest tubes, and NG tube placement/management. The critical care unit frequently admits high-acuity patients with conditions like sepsis, hyperglycemia, and respiratory failure, requiring management of medication drips (insulin, vasopressors, etc.) and the use of equipment such as ventilators and BIPAPs. The Big Rapids campus has a well-established team that collaborates with an interdisciplinary team including hospitalists, care managers, social workers, pharmacy, nurse techs, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to provide quality patient care. Experienced RNs work with the education team to provide a supportive onboarding experience for new hires and graduates. Scheduling follows a six-week rotating core, allowing for advance planning of appointments to maintain work-life balance.
