Registered Nurse Night - Gen Surg Med Surg

Join Our Team at Mission Hospital – K8 General Surgery Med-Surg Unit!

Are you a compassionate, driven Registered Nurse looking to thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment? At Mission Hospital, our nurses are the heart of everything we do. We are seeking a Registered Nurse to join our healthcare family on the K8 General Surgery Med-Surg Unit, where clinical excellence, teamwork, and patient-centered care come together to create meaningful outcomes for the patients and community we serve.

About the K8 General Surgery Med-Surg Unit:
The K8 Unit is one of the largest and most dynamic units in the hospital, consisting of 44 beds and caring primarily for pre- and post-surgical patients. This is a high-acuity, fast-paced environment where nurses manage complex recoveries, frequent pain reassessments, and a high volume of medication administration. Our patient population typically has short lengths of stay, averaging one to three days, which creates consistent patient turnover.

It is not uncommon for the unit to discharge and admit 20 or more patients within a single shift. This pace requires strong clinical judgment, adaptability, and excellent time-management skills.

The Registered Nurse coordinates and delivers high quality, patient-centered care in accordance with the nature and specific requirements of the department, and consistent with the scope and standards of practice for the relevant state and specialty. In collaboration with medical providers and other members of the care team, the RN provides individualized, comprehensive, and compassionate care using established nursing models such as “Assess, Perform, Teach, and Manage.”

The RN serves as an advocate for patients/families/caregivers and models a commitment to the organization’s vision/mission/values to support an unparalleled patient experience and clinical outcomes that contribute to overall departmental performance.

• Assesses patient pain regularly to promote effective pain management, including reassessments after appropriate intervention.
• Performs procedures, monitoring, or other functions as ordered by the medical provider(s). Documents the administration of care in the patient medical record in a timely and thorough manner.
• Performs exceptional care by responding promptly to patient requests. Strives to anticipate patient needs and resolve them proactively.
