Graduate Nurse

Alright, let's talk about this Nurse Extern spot on our Critical Care Unit in Nashville, TN. This isn't a regular full time gig; it's PRN. That means the schedule is built around your nursing school calendar. You pick up shifts when you can, and you get to learn in a serious ICU environment at TriStar Centennial Medical Center.

What you'd be doing

You're working under the supervision of an RN, acting as an extra set of skilled hands for the team. It's about delivering solid, compassionate care and helping keep everything running smoothly.

• Your main job is to support the nursing staff based on what you've learned in school and what the unit needs that day.
• You'll document care details in our computer system.
• A big part of the role is helping maintain a clean, organized, and safe environment for patients.
• Once you've shown you're competent, you can move on to performing higher level procedures.
• Communicate important patient information clearly to the right people on the care team.

What you need to bring
