Registered Nurse (RN) Weekender - Orthopaedics

Mercy Hospital's 5B Orthopaedic Unit cares for planned orthopaedic post-op surgical patients (hip and knee replacements, spine, and neck surgeries), orthopaedic injuries (falls and car accidents), and trauma patients that don't require critical care or are ready to come out of the ICU (gunshots, wounds, stabbings, car accidents, and traumatic falls). This collaborative unit works with Orthopaedic Surgeons, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and the trauma team. 5B is known for their community outreach for various donation drives throughout the year and their phenomenal caregiver retention, as there are a lot of experienced caregivers who have been here for 8+ years.
