Registered Nurse (RN) - ICU
About The Position
The professional nurse in critical care uses the nursing process to plan, implement, evaluate, and document patient care. The nurse considers patients’ physical, psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, language, age, teaching, and readiness-to-learn needs, and involves the interdisciplinary team in care planning and interventions. The RN II independently cares for two critically ill patients and can master most acuity patients. The role includes caring for patients on ventilators, understanding basic dysrhythmias and hemodynamic status and correlating readings with the patient’s care, assisting with bedside procedures, and administering physician-prescribed medications according to policy. The RN II practices autonomously, anticipates professional responsibilities, accepts accountability for professional actions, and uses critical thinking in daily practice. This is a full-time night-shift position, scheduled for 1900–0730, with six shifts per two-week pay period. Some weekends are required. A sign-on bonus of up to $25,000 is offered based on experience.
