About This Role
Alright, let's talk about this Telemetry RN spot at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis, IN. I've been placing nurses here for years, and this unit is a serious stepdown environment. You need to know what you're doing.
The Role
You'll be on a 46 bed high acuity unit. The patient to nurse ratio runs from 1:3 to 1:4. Your patients are coming straight from the ER or getting transferred out of the Trauma Neuro ICU and the MICU. You'll see a wide range of neuro diagnoses; think trauma injuries, craniotomies, laminectomies, and discectomies.
A big part of this job is acting as the clinical liaison for your patients and their families. That means translating complex medical plans into clear, compassionate language they can actually understand.
And you're not an island. Effective team collaboration is non negotiable here. You'll be involved in rapid response situations and expected to take initiative.
What You Absolutely Need
- A Registered Nurse credential from the Indiana Board of Nursing. You must have this before your hire date or transfer date.
- A BLS Provider certification. It has to be from the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross, and you need to get it within one month (30 days) of starting.
- The education requirement is a diploma from an accredited school or college of nursing OR the required professional licensure at the time of hire.
How They Take Care of You
The benefits package is pretty comprehensive. It's how they try to help you thrive outside of work so you can focus when you're here.
- Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage. They also offer HSA and FSA options.
- Financial Stuff: There's an employer matched 403(b) retirement plan. They provide planning resources, hardship resources, plus disability and life insurance.
- Time Off: You get pro rated paid time off (PTO) and holidays.
- Career Growth: Ascension pays for tuition through their Vocare program. There's reimbursement available, ongoing professional development, and online learning resources.
- Well being Support: This includes an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), counseling, peer support, spiritual care, and stress management resources.
- For Your Family: Parental leave, adoption assistance, and other family benefits are part of the package.
- A few other optional things like legal insurance and pet insurance are available too.
A quick but important note: benefit options and eligibility depend on your position, scheduled hours, and location. These benefits can change at any time. Your recruiter will give you all the current details during hiring.
