About The Position

The Abdominal Unit at Good Samaritan Hospital is a 25-bed unit specializing in the post-operative and medical care of patients with diverse abdominal and gynecological needs. From bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass and gastric sleeve to hysterectomies and other general surgical procedures, this unit is at the forefront of surgical recovery. Patients also come to the unit with complex medical conditions such as small bowel obstructions (SBO), gynecological oncology issues, and those requiring advanced therapies like NG tubes, TPN, and electrolyte replacement. The care team is highly skilled in managing wound vacs, surgical drains, and ostomies, with the added capability of remote telemetry monitoring. The unit fosters a supportive and flexible work environment, offering 12-hour shifts with self-scheduling. Nurses work within a 6-week schedule that incorporates weekend and holiday rotations, ensuring a healthy balance between work and personal life. New nurses are welcomed with a 6-week competency-based orientation guided by an experienced preceptor. This training provides hands-on experience and education tailored to each nurse's unique needs, building expertise in abdominal and gynecological care, remote telemetry, and post-operative recovery protocols. Staffing ratios are designed to maintain high-quality care: Day Shifts: 1:4-5; Night Shifts: 1:5-6.
