Job Summary and Qualifications
Imagine being the first person to hold a patient's hand as they take their first pain-free step in years.
This is the impact we make every day in Orthopedics.
As a valued nursing professional on our Acute Orthopedic and Bariatric Unit, you'll help patients regain mobility after fractures, injuries, or chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis.

What you will do in this role:
- Deliver high-quality, patient-centered care while managing evidence-based practices and continuous improvement initiatives
- Be an integral member of a dynamic interdisciplinary team - consisting of the provider(s), therapy, and more.
- Consistently apply the nursing process, critical thinking skills, scientific judgment, technical skills and leadership to independently deliver safe nursing care to patients
- Assess patient condition, monitor throughout your shift, and document changes in patient condition along with the care provided thoroughly
- Educate patients and families/caregivers about the patient's medical condition, treatment and follow-up measures
What qualifications you will need:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification must be obtained within 30 days of employment start date
