The ED at Bob Wilson Memorial Hospital is a 5-room department where we stabilize trauma patients for transfer, provide outpatient IV therapy, and wound care. The department receives overflow from rural health clinics, and we care for patients with general issues including migraines, appendectomy, abdominal pain, flu and pneumonia cases. Our team offers a flexible schedule where everyone orients to other units and gets to work in all departments.

This allows employees to cross- train to med/surg and be marketable for future endeavors. Experience is preferred but not required as skills can be taught, but a personality that is outgoing and friendly with a willingness to help is key.

As a Nurse, you will assume responsibility and accountability for facilitating, communicating, and collaborating with both the healthcare team, and the patient/family to identify and meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient. You will promote the optimal health, well-being and safety of the patient through use of the nursing process and in accordance with patient care standards, guidelines and the State Nurse Practice Act, and demonstrate personal accountability for relationship-based care, organizational mission, and core values.
