Emergency Room Nurse - PRN

Emergency Room Nurse

Overview:

Recent construction has expanded our Memorial Livingston emergency room to 23,500 square feet. With state-of-the-art technology and increased resources, our ER can now serve even more of our growing community. The new facility includes 26 treatment stations, including three trauma rooms, 16 exam rooms, and adjacent radiology, ultrasound, and CT rooms. There are also designated areas for disaster response and decontamination.

This state-of-the-art facility builds on the foundation of expert care you can expect at our Livingston hospital. Here, our commitment to you is always growing.

No two days in emergency nursing are ever the same. You’re a multitasker who can react quickly as you’ll prioritize patients based on their medical necessity while you’re providing emergency triage to others. As part of our ER team, you’ll partner with an experienced clinical team to deliver stabilizing care to our patients by performing IV starts, foley catheter insertions, or aiding providers with chest tube insertions.

To thrive as an ER nurse, you should exhibit teamwork, professionalism, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to take on additional projects such as patient experience initiatives. More than anything, you should be energetic and motivated to provide quality care to all of our patients, maintaining their dignity at every step.
