About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin North Hospital, a downtown Stuart hospital serving communities in and around Martin County. The 5NW Progressive Care Unit (PCU) specializes in post-operative vascular and thoracic medical services, including care involving chest tubes and arterial bypasses. Patients are stepped down from the ICU and require a higher level of monitoring and care than patients on a medical-surgical unit. The RN works directly with patients and their families, supports their experience, and provides healthcare education as needed. The team has access to advanced technology and research to support patient care. This position works nights from 7:00 PM to 7:30 AM. The role requires providing direct nursing care; developing and revising patient care plans; monitoring, documenting, and communicating patient conditions; administering medications and treatments; carrying out physician and nursing orders; coordinating discharge needs; and educating patients and families. The position requires an accredited nursing education, current RN licensure, BLS certification, qualifying ACLS or ALS certification, and one year of current acute care RN experience or licensed military RN experience.
