At Mercy One, health care is more than just a doctor’s visit or a place to go when you’re in need of medical attention. Our Mission is based on improving the health of our communities – that means not only when you are sick but keeping you well.

At Mercy One Genesis Medical Group, we are dedicated to providing a medical home with high quality care where the focus is on you and your family’s health. We are the largest medical group in the Quad-Cities providing our community care where it wants it and care when it needs it.

Mercy One Genesis Bettendorf Orthopedics Care is where day‑to‑day activities become difficult, if not impossible, when you’re suffering from hip, knee, shoulder or other joint pain. As leaders in joint care, our surgeons, nurses and therapists at Mercy One Bettendorf Orthopedics Care will guide you through education, treatment and recovery. We use the latest techniques and advanced technology to provide you with the best treatment options, all close to home.

Our team of experienced specialists will use minimally invasive procedures whenever possible, getting you back to living your best life – that’s our one purpose.

As a Registered Nurse at Mercy One, you will provide patient care in outpatient settings and are responsible for delivering safe, effective, and evidence‑based patient care through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. You will coordinate care provided by other clinical staff, support patient and family education, and ensure communication across healthcare teams. You are accountable for clinical standards and may operate with minimal supervision.
