📅 SHIFT & POSITION DETAILS

  • Schedule: Day shifts, 12-Hours (07:00 AM - 19:30 PM). The manager coordinates scheduling based on unit requirements, but block scheduling will be considered if core floor needs are completely met.
  • Guaranteed Hours: 36 regular hours guaranteed weekly.
  • Nurse-to-Patient Ratios: Pacing models track closely at 1:4 to 1:5 on days. Supported by dedicated patient care techs carrying a 1:8 ratio, a shift charge nurse, and a floating resource nurse.

  • Clinical Scope & Case Mix: High-quality care for adult and geriatric populations. Common caseloads encompass stroke management (non-thrombectomy stroke line), hypertension, COPD, cellulitis, CHF, Atrial Fibrillation (non-RVR), chest pain, post-ICU myocardial infarction, surgical overflow (no craniotomies or joint replacements), altered mental status, and general oncology lines.
  • Infusions & Respiratory: Independent management of titratable and set-rate drips, including Heparin and Lasix. Floor respiratory support covers troubleshooting stable BiPAP and established trachs with blow-by oxygen; in-house RT is available 24/7. Telemetry packs are utilized on-floor with dedicated monitor techs reading and interpreting all strips.
