About The Position

The Registered Nurse provides quality nursing care while maintaining accountability for coordinating patient care. The role uses the nursing process—assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation—and collaborates with multidisciplinary team members to provide age- and developmentally appropriate care consistent with nursing standards and MUSC policies. The nurse provides patient- and family-centered care, attends to patients’ physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, religious, and environmental needs, coordinates care and health teaching, and evaluates goals and interventions.

The nurse helps maintain a safe, therapeutic, and healing environment; participates in a professional practice model and shared governance; and contributes to professional development, peer review, leadership, clinical excellence, and a healthy work environment. The position applies care-management principles to coordinate efficient patient services, identify clinical priorities, and initiate actions to improve outcomes.
