Clinical Spotlight: The Med/Surg Night Sentinel

Working nights on a Med/Surg unit in a regional hub like Wenatchee requires sharp assessment skills. You are the "eyes and ears" of the medical team during the hours when resources are lean. Your ability to catch the early signs of a patient "drifting"—subtle changes in mentation or vital signs—is vital. Because you may be asked to float as a sitter, your skills in de-escalation and therapeutic presence are just as important as your technical proficiency with IV pumps and wound care.

Wenatchee is known as the "Apple Capital of the World" and is a gateway to the Cascade Mountains and Lake Chelan.
