About The Position

Your job is more than a job. Med-Surg nursing is the backbone of every hospital, and it’s not for everyone. Your calling as a Med Surg nurse means your unwavering passion, mental toughness, heart of gold, and mad skills make you an invaluable asset. You love being on the front line of care and getting to know your patients as real people. You sweat the small stuff and bring all you’ve got to every patient’s bedside, call light, hand hold, chart entry, medical need, team request, family request and even the proverbial Jello request. You love the range of nursing skills it demands, and that there’s “never-a-dull-moment”. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. We’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this hands-on, diverse nursing role. LCMC Health is a community where people make health happen. Our NOLA roots run deep, and our branches carry our mission of bringing the best possible care to every person and parish in Louisiana and beyond, putting a little more heart and soul into healthcare along the way. Celebrating authenticity, originality, equity, inclusion and a little “come on in” attitude is the foundation of LCMC Health’s culture of everyday extraordinary. University Medical Center, a world class academic medical center in LCMC Health’s incredible community of care, is the largest medical training center for healthcare professionals in Louisiana and has long served as the region’s safety net hospital for poor and underserved communities for 300+. Learn more about University Medical Center’s legacy and our vision of becoming the epicenter of medical care, education, and research. One-of-a-kind care comes from one-of-a-kind people. At LCMC Health, our people are the magic ingredient that makes our care so extra-extraordinary. We are compassionate, driven, and dedicated to bringing a little something extra to healthcare and to the people of New Orleans and beyond. If you’re the kind of person who believes that our community deserves the best and that healthcare needs a little more heart, we want you to be a part of our family. From medical roles to administrative positions, every person on our team plays a part in our mission: to provide health, care, and education beyond extraordinary. Let’s make every day extraordinary, together.
