Registered Nurse

Alright, let's talk about this Orthopedics Coordinator RN role at HCA Florida Capital Hospital in Tallahassee, FL.

It's a leadership position on the shift. You're the point person for making sure the nursing care on the unit is running smoothly and hitting the mark for quality. You'll work closely with the other managers to keep things moving in the right direction.

What you'd be doing

• Helping get patients admitted and discharged without hiccups; keeping that patient flow efficient and centered on them.
• You're part of the team that constantly looks at how care is delivered on your unit, figuring out what's working and what could be better.
• Building that teamwork environment with your peers is a big part of it. It's all about supporting each other to get better results for patients.
• If something doesn't go perfectly with a patient's experience, you're involved in making it right. The patient comes first, always.
• The hospital has specific nursing strategies in place, like employee rounding and hourly patient rounds. You'll help make sure those actually happen on your watch.
• You'll have a say in bringing new people onto the team; think interviewing and helping get them trained up.
• There's management work here too. You'll recommend actions around training, handling conflicts, making sure policies are followed, doing performance reviews, or even disciplinary steps if needed.
• The schedule for your staff? You'll help with that.
• Managing staff hours based on how many patients need care and what the productivity targets are is part of the job.
• And you'll pitch in to manage supplies and equipment, keeping an eye on inventory so nothing runs out when you need it.

The essentials you need

• A current Registered Nurse license. That can be from a Diploma program, an Associate Degree (ADN), or as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).
• You must get your Basic Cardiac Life Support (BLS) certification within your first 30 days if you don't already have it.
