Developing individualized nursing care plans with measurable goals, you will ensure that the provided care aligns with medical plans and meets accepted standards. Making appropriate assignments to team members based on patient acuity, you will maintain accountability for their actions and compliance with hospital policies and procedures. In addition to providing direct patient care, you will participate in orientation programs for new personnel and assist in facilitating learning experiences for nursing students. Regular documentation and revision of patient care plans will be essential, with a focus on infection control measures to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. To excel in this role, you must be a graduate of an accredited nursing school with a solid understanding of the nursing process, management principles, and current healthcare developments. Knowledge of hospital functions, policies, and regulations related to nursing service is crucial. Experience in emergency care or a related specialty is preferred, and you must hold a current Registered Nurse license from the Tennessee Board of Nursing. Certification in life support programs such as CPR, ACLS, and NALS is also required or scheduled for training as per department guidelines.
