About The Position
The Registered Nurse is responsible for the direct and indirect total nursing care of assigned patients and supervises assigned personnel. The role requires knowledge of department and hospital policies and procedures relevant to nursing care delivery, as well as interpretive, interactive, consultative, management, and supervisory skills.
