Job overview
The listing describes the role as direct nursing care for patients who need complex assessments and interventions. Nurses follow the hospital’s policies, procedures, and protocols.
The unit name is Progressive Stepdown/TCU. The listing does not define TCU, so ask the recruiter what patient population the unit serves.
Key responsibilities
Day to day, the nurse works through the full nursing process with the patient and care team. According to the listing, the nurse will:
- Gather patient information from the patient, family, and other providers
- Analyze assessment data to identify the conditions that affect care
- Set goals for the patient with the family and the interprofessional team
- Build and carry out a care plan using clinical judgment
- Track progress and evaluate results
- Keep nursing knowledge current and review their own practice
- Use clinical inquiry and evidence-based practice
- Take on other assigned duties
The listing also asks nurses to stay alert and work safely at all times.
Education and experience
The listing requires graduation from an accredited school of nursing, or an education equivalent for licensing. It also states that no experience is required.
As a result, new graduates with a valid license may qualify. Nonetheless, confirm this with the recruiter, because the unit may still prefer some clinical background.
Licenses and certifications
The listing lists requirements by state of work location. Because this role is at a St. Louis hospital, the Missouri block most likely applies. Verify that before you apply.
For Missouri, the listing asks for all of the following:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers, from the American Heart Association
- A Missouri RN license, or an RN license issued by a compact state
- One of these: ALS, ENPC, NRP, PALS, TNCC, or NRP Essentials
You need only one certification from that last group. The listing separates the options with “or”, so do not treat them all as mandatory.
The same listing also includes license requirements for Illinois, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Those apply to other work locations, not to this one, unless the recruiter says otherwise.
Schedule and physical demands
The shift runs from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. with every third weekend. The listing gives 36 scheduled hours a week. Three 12-hour shifts would match that total, but the listing does not state the number of shifts.
The physical section lists constant standing and walking. It also describes frequent lifting or moving of objects up to 25 pounds. Occasionally, nurses lift 25 to 50 pounds and help move patients. Ask the recruiter for the full requirements.
Benefits and eligibility
Eligibility rules apply to every benefit below, so not every applicant will receive all of them. The listing does not give a pay rate.
- Sign-on bonus: eligible external candidates may qualify. Ask the recruiter for details, since no amount is stated.
- Shift differentials: available for evenings, nights, and weekends.
- Paid parental leave: one week for eligible team members, prorated by FTE.
- DailyPay: eligible hourly team members can access earned pay before payday, and fees may apply.
- Tuition coverage: eligible team members can get upfront coverage through FlexPath Funded.
