Registered Nurse- Adult Step Down Unit- Full Time

About the role

Elliot Health System is excited to share the opening of a new Adult Stepdown Unit (ASDU). It is a 12-bed unit with private rooms incorporating aspects from our Intensive Care Unit that improve nursing satisfaction such as: ceiling lifts to assist with safe patient movement and supply carts in every room to streamline care. The unit will have substantial telemetry monitoring and a medication room to promote safe patient care. The ASDU will care for patient 's with an acutely ill, moderately complex, medical, surgical, cardiac, trauma, and psychiatric diagnosis, requiring close nursing observation assessment, intervention, or monitoring. The standard nurse to patient ratio for the ADSU is 1:3. Nursing care is provided in accordance with the standards established by the American Nurses Association, and it is guided by a patient and family centered care delivery model of care. The American Association of Critical Care Nurses guide critical and progressive care nursing practices. Admission to the Adult Stepdown Unit will be managed by either the Critical Care Medicine Service or the Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Service.
