Shift: Full-Time, 9:00 am - 9:00 pm, for 72 hours per pay period. There is a holiday and a every third weekend rotation.

n

The RN Clinical Support Nurse respond to ever changing resource requirements to meet patient, nursing and operational needs across all areas of hospital. Using Benner’s Novice to Expert model as a framework, this role uses a highly proficient or expert nurse as a clinical resource to meet patient and operational needs, provide advanced skills and care, and support for nurses and team members to develop their practice. This role requires a high level of flexibility, initiative and problem solving on a day-to-day basis. While in this role, the nurse will not normally assume a routine patient assignment, however under certain circumstances a patient assignment may be appropriate.
