is very much a team player unit. We all work together to deliver
exceptional care to our patients and their families. The employees
here are honest, and embody the HCA vision to Care like family . We
are often recognized for our positive atmosphere and excellent
employee engagement. Any additional information that would entice a
worker to select your unit for their assignment: Consider items
such as new equipment or technology, tenure and experience of
staff, schedule options, etc. I truly feel we do not treat travel
RNs any differently than our core staff. The only difference is the
travel RNs will float before core staff. I allow self-scheduling
(within reason to balance the schedule), and we are a laid-back
unit who maintains high patient satisfaction ratings and
high-quality metrics. We have had some travel RNs return for
extended contracts after some time away, and many travel RNs have
renewed multiple times. While some days are more stressful than
others, and not every shift is always a walk in the park, we all
get through it together and make sure our co-workers are taken care
of as well as the patients. We are a HCA facility, and with that
comes great technology. We are able to complete many tasks on the
iMobile devices (iPhones you pick up at the start of each shift).
The iMobile device allows you to communicate easily through
encrypted text to the hospitalist, nurses, PCTs, and other
ancillary departments. You can also view the patient s chart
through Patient Keeper on your iMobile, which is handy when you are
not in front of a computer We recently implemented MobiLab for the
collection of any specimens. We do not perform our own phlebotomy
on PCU, but we do collect microbiology specimens such as MRSA
screens and UAs. Wound documentation can be performed on the
iMobile device by using the iPhone camera in the wound care app,
and the photos upload to the patient s chart. There are experienced
RNs on both day and night shift, and RNs on both shift with ICU
experience. We do have more travel RNs on night shift vs dayshift,
but there are resources on both shifts to answer any and all
questions you might have. General Comments No. of Positions: 1/1.
Guaranteed Hours: Contract Weeks:91
