Registered Nurse (RN) – Mixed Acuity

Position Highlights

Position Summary

In our Inpatient Mixed Acuity unit, every room is designed to provide care for patients with varying degrees of illness or recovery. Patients remain in the same bed for the duration of their stay, with all beds equipped for hemodynamic monitoring, including EKG, invasive and non-invasive pressure, cardiac output monitoring, and telemetry monitoring throughout the facility. Specialty equipment is utilized based on patient needs, and nursing care is adapted accordingly. Patients typically have primary cardiac, thoracic, or vascular diagnoses and often experience related conditions like diabetes, renal disease, and pulmonary disease, ensuring that care encompasses multiple body systems.

Registered Nurses (RNs) new to our unit receive comprehensive education and mentoring, enabling them to successfully care for both general and intermediate-level patients. There is a progression opportunity to critical care nursing within the same unit for those pursuing that goal.
