Paramus, United States Veterinary Emergency Group Full time
WHO WE ARE

Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) is a rapidly growing emergency company with hospital locations across the United States. Our mission is helping people and their pets when they need it most. We are revolutionizing emergency medicine with a "customer first" mentality and a true, employee-centric work environment.

TALENT + CULTURE AT VEG

At VEG, we want people and their pets to feel safe, secure, and valued; we want our employees to feel the same way.

With the highest NPS score in our industry, we're ready to ensure that VEG remains the place where the best and brightest in the emergency world not only want to work, but stay and grow. For our customers and their pets, we strive to find a way to say, "yes." We do the same and more for our teams. In fact, VEG is one of this year's nominees for INC Magazine's Best Places to Work

FOCUS

To facilitate and manage workflow of the nursing care team at VEG practices each shift. There will be a group of shift leads working as a team to create 24/7 coverage to have a presence on the floor. Shift leads will aim to distribute the workload to appropriately trained individuals in as efficient a manner as possible to deliver uncompromised standards of nursing care. The shift lead is not expected to know every detail about every patient at all times, but is expected to serve as a coordinator and have an overall picture of the status of the floor at any given time. By promoting a supportive atmosphere among the team and facilitating the work flow, shift leads will help ensure the quality of patient care, team wellness, and professional growth.
