WI - RN Med/Surg General Internal Medicine - Night - Alto Health Care Staffing

Nurses on this 28-bed unit meet the daily challenges of caring for patients with a wide array of medical conditions. General Internal medicine teaching services including medical students, interns, residents, and attending providers are the primary teams caring for the patients along with subspecialties such as nephrology, hepatology, immunology, infectious disease, endocrinology, gastroenterology, psychiatry, and geriatrics. Nurses on F6/5 have a unique opportunity to work within a collaborative framework with the interdisciplinary team. Patients often have multiple diagnoses including, but not limited to, pneumonia, COPD, CHF, acute and chronic renal failure, cellulitis, gastrointestinal bleeds, acute and chronic liver failure, diseases of addiction, and diabetes mellitus. F6/5 is University Hospitals' designated Special Pathogens unit if the need arises. There is a keen awareness of the psychosocial issues faced by patients and families as they cope with new diagnoses and chronic illnesses. Discharge planning is an important component of the patient's care; nurses collaborate daily with case managers, social workers, pharmacists, and therapists to develop individual patient care plans. F6/5 provides a professional and stimulating environment where critical thinking, problem-solving, and attaining new knowledge and nursing skills among a very supportive staff is fostered.
