Registered Nurse (Inpatient & Swing Bed)

OCH • Gravette, AR

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Ozarks Community Hospital (OCH), located in Gravette, Arkansas, is seeking Registered Nurses (RNs) to join our Medical Surgical and Swing Bed departments. The Medical Surgical unit provides inpatient care for patients who require monitoring, treatment, and recovery following illness, injury, or medical procedures. Nurses in this setting care for a diverse patient population, including those with acute medical conditions, post-procedural recovery needs, and patients preparing for discharge. Working in the medical surgical unit offers the opportunity to practice a broad range of clinical skills while delivering personalized care in a smaller hospital environment with close collaboration among providers and the care team. The Swing-bed service allows a patient to transition from acute care to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) care without leaving the hospital. This allows a patient to continue receiving services in the hospital even though acute care is no longer required. This is comparable to working in a skilled nursing facility, except that this program is based in a hospital with a lower nurse to patient ratio. As a smaller, specialized hospital, OCH offers a fast-paced yet supportive work environment where nurses develop strong clinical experience while building meaningful relationships with patients and their families. Nurses have the opportunity to choose between the Medical Surgical and the swing-bed program, allowing them to work in the care setting that best matches their clinical interests and preferred patient population.
