RN, Med Surg (Fourth Floor)
About The Position
The Registered Nurse provides nursing care to an identified group of patients in an inpatient environment, including assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating care. The role demonstrates competency in caring for a primarily adult patient population. The position is on the Fourth Floor Medical & Surgical unit at Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital, a 29-bed inpatient unit whose patients mainly include people undergoing orthopedic and spine surgeries. The unit offers exposure to a variety of acute care needs and has designated Charge Nurses. Typical RN assignments are 1:4–5 patients during the day and 1:5–6 at night. New staff are paired with a preceptor and mentor, and the unit encourages participation in Shared Governance to support bedside decision-making.
