About The Position

At MercyOne, health care is more than a doctor’s visit or a place to go when medical attention is needed. Its mission is to improve the health of communities by helping people stay well as well as caring for them when they are sick. MercyOne Genesis serves a 17-county bi-state region in and around the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois, and has earned recognition as a two-time national Top 15 Health System and for ranking in the top 1 percent nationally for patient safety.

The Registered Nurse provides and directs safe, effective, and culturally competent care for patients with acute medical and surgical conditions. Using evidence-based practice and critical thinking, the RN assesses, plans, implements, and evaluates outcome-based care. The role manages a diverse patient population with varying acuity, including post-operative, medical, telemetry, and neurologic patients. The RN supervises and coordinates care provided by LPNs, Patient Care Assistants, and other nursing team members, and facilitates communication with physicians, patients and families, and interdisciplinary team members.
