Sherwood, Arkansas, United States Catholic Health Initiatives Full time
Position Overview

As the Critical Care Charge Nurse at Catholic Health Initiatives, you will oversee the care of patients who are critically ill and unstable due to severe injuries, surgical procedures, or life-threatening conditions.

At the start of each shift, you will receive a report from a nursing colleague before commencing your rounds. You will provide ongoing care and execute procedures as outlined in the care plan.

This may involve assisting a physician with procedures such as chest tube insertion or central line placement, providing wound care, ensuring patients are prepared for MRI or CT scans, or administering medications.

To excel in this position, you will rely heavily on your multitasking abilities and quick reactions. You will provide clinical care to your patients, maintaining focus and vigilance as you continuously monitor their conditions throughout your shift. Additionally, you will act as their advocate, representing their best interests when they are unable to do so themselves.

Your sound judgment during emergencies and your rapid response capabilities will be key factors in your potential for career advancement.

Responsibilities

- Assess, plan, and implement nursing care while ensuring patient comfort.

- Anticipate, identify, and respond to the informational and emotional needs of patients and their families.

- Guide and direct healthcare personnel (e.g., Patient Care Technicians) in the care of patients.

- Maintain knowledge of equipment setup, maintenance, and usage (e.g., IV pumps, monitoring devices, and drainage systems). Utilize safeguards such as IV pump drug libraries and monitor alarms as necessary.

- Initiate emergency support measures (e.g., cardiopulmonary resuscitation, protecting patients from injury).

- Assist with patient care tasks (e.g., emptying drainage devices, ambulating, and hygiene).

We are offering a competitive sign-on bonus to new hires who meet the eligibility criteria.

Qualifications

- Diploma in Nursing from an accredited college or university.

- Minimum of 1 year of experience in acute care settings.

- Active Registered Nurse license in good standing with the appropriate nursing board.

- Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.

- Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification (to be obtained within 6 months of hire).

While you focus on making a difference in the healthcare field, we will support you with benefits that include health, dental, and vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, matching retirement plans, paid time off, adoption assistance, and more.

$45.81 per hour

We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
