• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary healthcare team to ensure effective and coordinated patient care.
• Educate patients and families about treatment plans, monitoring procedures, and discharge instructions.
• Float between assigned units and facilities as needed, providing coverage for Telemetry, Ortho/Neuro, PCU, or ED holding areas.
• Uphold infection control, safety, and patient confidentiality standards in all aspects of care.
