Med-Pass RN - Cardiac Telemetry, PRN

The Registered Nurse serves as a leader of the healthcare team at Novant Health by establishing an authentic personalized relationship with the patient and their chosen support system, collaborating with physicians and other team members to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate an individualized plan of care that promotes optimal health or supports a peaceful death. The Registered Nurse utilizes best scientific evidence and compassion to assist the patient in navigating their health journey. The Registered Nurse accepts responsibility, authority, and accountability for management and provision of care in accordance with the current policies and procedures.

Medication Nurses (Med Pass RNs) are RNs who help clinical nurses on a designated unit with administering oral, SQ, IM and IV medications. They do not need to have recent bedside experience.
Medication Nurses usually work shortened shifts during heavy medication pass times.. This assistance relieves the RN to focus on patient assessments, care plans, education, and discharges.

Medication Nurses will receive specific training that will focus on all aspects of the medication administration process and work with a nurse on passing medications prior to working more
independently. The Med Pass RN also may assist on the unit as needed.

At Novant Health, one of our core values is diversity and inclusion. By engaging the strengths and talents of each team member, we ensure a strong organization capable of providing remarkable healthcare to our patients, families and communities. Therefore, we invite applicants from all group dynamics to apply to our exciting career opportunities.
