About The Position

The Registered Nurse provides quality nursing care and is accountable for coordinating patient care. The role uses the nursing process—assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation—to deliver patient- and family-centered care that addresses physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, religious, and environmental needs. Responsibilities include nursing diagnoses, identifying outcomes, planning and implementing interventions, coordinating care, health teaching and promotion, and evaluating goals and interventions in accordance with MUSC policies.

The nurse directs and leads assigned team members and collaborates with multidisciplinary colleagues to provide age- and developmentally appropriate care consistent with nursing standards. The role maintains a safe, therapeutic, and healing environment, protects patient privacy, and demonstrates respectful and professional behavior. It also involves participation in the professional practice model, shared governance, peer review, professional development, and efforts to promote leadership, clinical excellence, effective teamwork, autonomous practice, accountability, and critical thinking. The nurse applies care management principles to coordinate efficient and effective services, identify clinical priorities, and take action to improve patient outcomes.
