As a Registered Nurse on the Intermediate Care Unit at Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center, you'll provide compassionate, high-acuity care to patients who require close monitoring and advanced nursing interventions. Your clinical expertise, critical thinking, and ability to respond quickly to changes in patient condition will play a vital role in delivering safe, exceptional care.

The Intermediate Care Unit cares for patients who need a higher level of monitoring than a traditional Medical-Surgical unit but do not require intensive care. You'll care for a diverse patient population, including individuals with cardiac conditions, respiratory illnesses, sepsis, stroke, renal disorders, post-procedural recovery, and other complex medical diagnoses requiring continuous cardiac telemetry, frequent assessments, and specialized treatments.

In this fast-paced, collaborative environment, you'll perform comprehensive patient assessments, administer medications and advanced therapies, monitor cardiac rhythms, educate patients and families, and partner closely with physicians and the interdisciplinary care team to promote the best possible outcomes. This role is ideal for nurses who enjoy caring for higher-acuity patients, thrive in a dynamic setting, and are passionate about delivering exceptional, patient-centered care.

• Experience: One year of acute nursing experience required.
