The Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) is an 8-bed observation area located within the Emergency Department, designed for patients who require short‑term treatment and monitoring. Utilizing evidence‑based protocols and staffed by advanced practice providers, the CDU delivers efficient, high‑quality care in a focused setting. With an average patient stay of 16 hours and approximately 80% of patients discharged directly from the unit, nurses can provide individualized, meaningful care in a well‑supported and manageable environment.

As a Clinical Nurse in the CDU, you'll play a key role in caring for patients needing timely evaluation and short‑term observation. This role includes comprehensive nursing responsibilities—assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patient care—in a fast‑paced but structured setting. It's a great opportunity to expand your emergency department (ED) skill set while maintaining a balanced workload and work‑life harmony.

We're seeking compassionate, skilled nurses who bring clinical experience and a commitment to high‑quality care.

• 1‑2 years of nursing experience in an Emergency Department, acute med‑surg, or intermediate care setting
• Telemetry experience (training available if needed)
• Prior experience in a Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) is a plus

Schedule:

36 hours per week, 12 hour shifts. Holiday requirements will be on a track scheduling system.

• Personalized Patient Care – Enjoy a 1:4 nurse‑to‑patient ratio that supports deeper connections and high‑quality care.
• Skill Development – Enhance your emergency medicine expertise in a supportive, fast‑paced environment.
• Balanced Work Environment – Engage in emergency care without the unpredictability of a full ED setting.
• Professional Flexibility – Opportunities for cross‑training in the main Emergency Department to grow your career.

If you're looking for a role that values your experience, supports your growth, and empowers you to deliver exceptional care, we'd love to hear from you.
