Sanford Health • Fargo, ND

1d

About The Position

The Registered Nurse (RN) uses the nursing process—assessment, diagnosis, outcomes and planning, implementation, and evaluation—to provide individualized patient care. This role is part of the Children’s Resource Team, whose nurses work throughout the Children’s Hospital, including Pediatrics, the Pediatric Day Unit, the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Team members help meet staffing needs resulting from above-average census or acuity, vacations, and medical leaves, so assignments may vary from day to day. The role also includes serving as a Children’s Hospital Rescue Nurse, responding to Pediatric Rapid Responses, Pediatric Trauma Codes, and Pediatric Code Blues; providing nitrous oxide for pediatric procedures; and serving as a resource to nurses providing direct patient care.

The RN collaborates with inter-professional colleagues, including physicians, to plan, implement, and evaluate care. The nurse provides care across preventive care, health maintenance, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, and is responsible for care planning and coordination, patient assessment and education, triage, and other nursing interventions. The position follows the Nurse Practice Act and applicable administrative rules, professional nursing standards, and the nursing code of ethics.

This position is scheduled for 36 hours per week in 12-hour rotating day and night shifts. The schedule includes every other weekend and every other holiday. A $10,000 sign-on bonus is available to eligible applicants with a commitment. The role also offers a $2.50 float-pool incentive and may qualify for additional night and weekend shift differentials. Applicable experience is reviewed and factored into potential offers; growth opportunities are available.
