Med/Surg RN

Alright, let's talk about this Med/Surg Renal RN spot at Las Palmas Medical Center in El Paso, TX.

This isn't about being a cog in a machine. It's about having the actual tools and support to do your job well. You're looking at strong float pool backup, tech that actually helps with patient monitoring and communication, and supply chains that don't leave you hanging. They're serious about ongoing clinical education, too; HCA Healthcare owns Galen College of Nursing, so they make it more accessible to get certifications and build skills. The idea is simple: give you what you need so you can focus on the patient care part.

The Work

You'll be providing medical treatment and personal care for ill and injured patients on a medical surgical renal unit. That means a full range of nursing care for patients with various physical or behavioral problems.

• Assessing each patient during admission and every shift, watching closely for any changes in status.
• Performing procedures and monitoring as ordered, with thorough documentation in the patient record.
• Your day involves administering prescribed meds, monitoring therapeutic response, and taking action if there's an unintended reaction.
• A big piece is responding to requests quickly and anticipating patient needs before they become issues.
• You'll educate patients, families, and caregivers on conditions, treatment plans, medications; including possible side effects; and follow up care. Translating complex medical info into something understandable is key here.

What You Need to Bring

This stuff is required:

• A current RN license for Texas or a compact state.
• A BCLS certification.
• A completed RN program leading to licensure; an Associate's Degree or BSN is required.
• The ability to read and write basic English well enough to understand and transfer physician orders.

A little experience would be great:

• If you've got 1 2 years as an RN already, that's preferred. A BSN is also preferred over an ADN.
• Any specialty certification or training related to the role is a plus.

The practicalities:

• You need effective communication skills; both talking and writing.
• Basic computer skills are necessary.
• The role involves managing a team and collaborating within one to ensure quality care.
• Strong problem solving skills are important here.
• Physically, you must be able to move over 100 pounds with assistance from other staff members.
