RN Cardiac Telemetry Unit Weekends Option
About The Position
The RN provides professional nursing care under the ANA scope of practice, using the nursing process to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and discharge while incorporating patient- and family-centered care. The RN delivers quality care under the direction of the Nurse Leader and follows Corewell Health policies and procedures. The role includes partnering with patients and families to incorporate their input and goals into care plans, developing teaching strategies, and documenting education and learning in the health record. The position is in 6 North, a 38-bed Cardiovascular unit caring for adults with heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, newly implanted pacemakers and defibrillators, LVAD readmissions, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac conditions requiring medical treatment. Most patients receive continuous telemetry monitoring. The unit provides care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This full-time night-shift position is part of the Weekend Only Program. The schedule is 36 hours weekly, with workdays listed as Friday through Sunday and a weekend frequency of every weekend. The program requires RNs to work 48 of 52 weekends per calendar year. For night shift, weekends are defined as Friday and Saturday nights. RNs may request up to 48 hours of PTO on weekend shifts and up to 48 hours of exchanging a weekend shift for a weekday shift, subject to unit guidelines and availability. RNs may request one weekend holiday off per calendar year. Weekend-program RNs receive an additional $10 per hour plus base pay; for a full-time RN working three 12-hour shifts weekly, the stipend applies to the two weekend shifts, not the third weekday shift. The stipend is combined with shift differentials and other special codes.
