Your job is more than a job. Let's tell it like it is. Med-Surg nursing is the backbone of every hospital, and it's not for everyone. Thankfully, you're not everyone. Your calling as a Med Surg nurse means your unwavering passion, mental toughness, heart of gold, and yes, 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 yes, even the proverbial Jello request. You love the range of nursing skills it demands, and that there's 'never-a-dull-moment'. And that's what we love about you. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your 'little something extra' all add up to you. And we're excited to get to know you and find out what you'll bring to this hands-on, diverse nursing role.
