RN - Tele

Delivers coordinated nursing care for a patient or an assigned group of patients according to established standards of care and the nursing process. Supervises and directs the activities of various levels of assigned nursing staff, and coordinates care with other disciplines while utilizing critical thinking, professional and supervisory discretion, and independent judgment.

This unit provides care for post-critical (step-down) medical or surgical patients who require observation and care at a level less than intensive care patients, but more comprehensive than that required by general acute patients. This unit represents a mix of medical and surgical patients including monitored or ventilator-dependent patients. If your unit is an intermediate-care unit but does not fit this specific description, please contact FP&A to discuss other options.

NOTE:

This department is only for direct patient care and does not include individuals only monitoring electronic devices from outside the patient room.
