Job Description

Take your med/surg nursing experience to Nashville for a 13-week contract on a neuro med/surg unit. Working 12-hour night shifts, you will care for patients with neurological and medical-surgical needs while prioritizing assignments, starting IVs, providing basic wound care, and managing surgical drains, nasogastric tubes, and chest tubes. The role also includes telemetry monitoring, bedside shift report, and involving patients and families in their care plans. You will use Meditech documentation along with equipment such as IV pumps, feeding pumps, PCA pumps, bladder scanners, EKG machines, and continuous pulse oximetry. Navy scrubs are required. Night-shift nursing has its own rhythm, and this assignment offers a focused way to settle into it.
