MedSurg

This is a Medsurg Unit that is blended. We have a thriving Swing Bed Program and also occasionally care for patients who are a PCU level of care. We balance our assignments based on the Nursing workload and the level of care of the patients. The ratios are 1:5 Medsurg. 1:5-6 for Swing Bed. 1:3-4 for PCU, based on if the patient is on a drip. (If the Nurse is only Medsurg by background, no problem, the Supervisors do a fantastic job with assignments.) The shift is 7 PM to 7 AM, with every other holiday and every other weekend. There is no on- call. We have a super engaged team who help to lead several committees on the unit. Of mention as well, St Joseph Memorial Hospital is a Pathways to Excellence designated facility through the ANCC, which I think speaks volumes when it comes to safety, quality care, a positive environment, and shared decision making!Licenses and CertificationCurrent Illinois Registered Nurse licenseCurrent CPR/BLS CardACLSIntensive Care Unit-10114-20114Progressive Care Unit-10116Progressive Care Unit Stepdown-10118Cardiac Services-10310Cardiac Catherization-10340Cardiac Care Decision Unit-10342Interventional Imaging-10367SDS Procedure Room-10317-20317Electrocardiology-10336-20336OP Cardiovascular Ctr-10344Intermediate Care Unit-20110ACLS-Fetal Assessment-Monitoring-NRPBirthing Center-10300ACLS-PALSEmergency Room-10306-20306-40306Recovery Room-10314-20314-40314NRPMother Baby-10154 / Neonatal Intensive Care Unit-10152NRP-PALSPediatrics-10160OCNCTC-Infusion Center-10328 / CTC-Radiation-10396 / InfusionTherapy Services-40329NIHSSMedical / Surgical Units: 10102, 10104, 20100, 20102, 20104, 20308, 30100, 40100Acute
