- Deliver stabilizing care to emergency patients of all ages as part of the larger ER team, adapting care to changes in patient’s condition as needed.
- Use knowledge of cultural differences to provide patient care that is sensitive to and consistent with cultural values, beliefs, and customs.
- Document the nursing care plan and changes in the patient's condition.
- Engage in other activities that will benefit patient outcomes, such as patient experience initiatives, mentoring, etc.
Required
- Unencumbered license to practice in the State of Arkansas
- 1 year of acute care experience is required (new graduates or nurses who have never worked in an acute care setting are hired through our residency training program)
