R6 is a dynamic 24-bed neurosurgical / trauma unit with an embedded
9-bed neuro-focused Intermediate Care Unit (IMC). Bean 2 is a
fast-paced 12-bed Total Joint Center. This position offers the
R6/B2 RN an opportunity to care for a diverse patient population in
a supportive environment as an integral member of a collaborative
team of highly trained staff.
The R6 patient population includes adults and older adolescents
with neurological and orthopedic conditions including closed head
injuries, strokes, brain tumors, seizure disorders, multi-traumas,
and conditions requiring neurosurgical intervention. RNs providing
care in the R6 IMC demonstrate astute assessment and critical
thinking skills, as patients in IMC often have multi-system issues
that require telemetry monitoring, intra-cranial pressure
monitoring, medication drips, frequent intervention, or other
higher acuity care needs.
The Bean 2 patient population consists of adults who have undergone
joint replacement surgeries. This unit serves as the Joint Center
for our nationally recognized and Joint Commission accredited joint
replacement program. The RN on Bean 2 coordinates important
milestones of care for each patient's visit to facilitate a timely
and safe discharge. This unit sees a high turnover of patients and
consistently receives exceptional patient satisfaction scores.
R6/IMC/B2 offers a challenging yet rewarding environment where
teamwork, excellent communication, a positive attitude, and a
proactive approach to provision of care is expected. As a teaching
unit with frequent student rotations, this collaborative learning
environment welcomes new graduate RNs and other learners excited to
be part of this supportive team. The compassionate Nurses, Patient
Care Technicians, and CNAs on R6/IMC/B2 work closely to support
each other in meeting patients' needs and ensuring the highest
standards of care are met.
