Assuming responsibility for the plan of care and utilizing the Nursing process in the delivery of care, you will facilitate the coordination of care across the continuum, and demonstrate safe practice within the domains of clinical judgment and decision making, nurse-patient/family relationship, clinical leadership and clinical scholarship. In addition, you will maintain a safe level of knowledge and skill with technical procedures and interpersonal communication, while demonstrating the knowledge and skill necessary to provide the expected standards.
The Resource nurse will report to the Staffing Office or the PCC on their scheduled days to work.
The Nurse will be scheduled to work on different units (MICU, SICU, CCU and 4E, or the two Telemetries) when there is an identified need.
