About The Position

A “Registered Nurse” is a person who holds a valid Indiana license, and who bears primary responsibility and accountability for nursing practices based on specialized knowledge, judgment, and skill derived from the principles of biological, physical, and behavioral sciences. The role requires maintaining competence in BLS after initial training, demonstrating a calm, pleasant, and professional demeanor, and the ability to work cooperatively with all staff, physicians, and departments. A commitment to Patient Satisfaction and Patient Safety is essential. The position requires interpersonal skills to instruct and comfort patients and their families, and maintain communication with a variety of internal and external staff. It involves recognizing and reinforcing positive efforts of the healthcare team and co-workers, addressing issues tactfully and in a timely manner, and gaining experience as determined by work area and hospital in order to acquire and effectively utilize knowledge of unit and departmental policies and procedures. The nurse must meet established quality and quantity standards for the role, appropriately use therapeutic touch to calm and comfort, and demonstrate a cheerful demeanor through smiling and other non-verbal cues, maintaining a positive attitude and refraining from complaining. Willingness to work hard and assist others once own tasks are completed, remaining sensitive to the needs and workload of the entire unit/department, and taking ownership using “I” or “we” rather than “they” or “them” are expected. Avoiding blaming others, demonstrating compassion by understanding and relating to patients’ situations, and helping them achieve their desired outcomes are key. Supporting the team by recognizing and celebrating successes, treating team members with respect, and participating actively in team activities are also important. Always prioritizing safety when making decisions, using imagination to connect with others, fostering empathy and compassion, and promoting and supporting Reid’s services and regional market strategies to achieve “Lean” deployment strategies are required. Demonstrating the ability to connect on a human level, including making eye contact and greeting patients, families, visitors, and staff, showing courteous interactions, using correct voice inflection and positive body language, and demonstrating empathy by acknowledging and validating patients' situations or experiences are essential. This list of duties and responsibilities is not intended to be all-inclusive and can be expanded to include other duties or responsibilities that management deems necessary.
