RN Emergency Services

Job Summary And Responsibilities

As an ER Nurse at St Mary Medical Center, now part of CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health, you’ll be the first touchpoint to the people in our community during health emergencies.

No two days in emergency nursing are ever the same. You’re a multitasker who can react quickly as you’ll prioritize patients based on their medical necessity while you’re providing emergency triage to others. As part of our ER team, you’ll partner with an experienced clinical team to deliver stabilizing care to our patients by performing IV starts, foley catheter insertions, or aiding providers with chest tube insertions.

To thrive as an ER nurse, you should exhibit teamwork, professionalism, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to take on additional projects such as patient experience initiatives. More than anything, you should be energetic and motivated to provide quality care to all of our patients, maintaining their dignity at every step.

While you’re busy impacting the healthcare industry, we’ll take care of you with benefits that include health / dental / vision, FSA, matching retirement plans, paid vacation, adoption assistance, and more.

Responsibilities

Use emergency triage protocol to intake, discharge or admit patients.

Deliver stabilizing care to emergency patients of all ages as part of the larger ER team, adapting care to changes in patient’s condition as needed.

Use knowledge of cultural differences to provide patient care that is sensitive to and consistent with cultural values, beliefs, and customs. Document the nursing care plan and changes in the patient's condition.

Engage in other activities that will benefit patient outcomes, such as patient experience initiatives, mentoring, etc.

If you are committed to social justice, health equity, and prepared to deliver care in new, innovative ways, you belong with us.
