You’ll perform timely wound care, monitor vital signs, coordinate admissions and discharges, and contribute to evidence-based patient education to empower patients and families. The position supports professional growth through hands-on practice in a dynamic unit, with opportunities to refine critical thinking, documentation accuracy, and care coordination skills, while potentially expanding into specialty areas or leadership tracks as you gain experience. The role also emphasizes preventative care, infection control, and safety protocols to ensure every patient receives precise, compassionate care.
