Nurses may occasionally be required to perform tasks typically assigned to nursing aides when necessary.
Flexibility and teamwork are central to ensuring high-quality patient care in this dynamic environment.
Common diagnoses include DKA, sepsis, pulmonary edema, CHF, COPD, and various other acute conditions.
Staff must be willing to float between units and engage with a diverse patient population.
