Registered Nurse I

Working on the Age- Friendly Unit means joining a team that is committed to providing excellent care to our geriatric patients. Our patients are typically 65 and above, and we provide our care centered around the 4Ms- “What Mater, Mentation, Medication, and Mobility” as those are pivotable components to providing quality inpatient care to all our patients. Caring for our Med/ Surg geriatric patients can include anything from GI, respiratory, diabetes, cardiac, or infectious complications while stable enough to be on a medical unit. Through providing exceptional care to our patient demographic, it also gives our nursing team an immense amount of knowledge to constantly continue learning throughout their career. We value team involvement for Professional Governance to have bedside nurses' opinions heard at the hospital level as well as our Unit Coordinating Council which is a unit level meeting held once a month where you voice can be heard to change unit practices and concerns. We also encourage teammates who would like to continue their learning and further education in the pursuit of Clinical Ladder Advancement, Professional Certifications, and strive to nurture a unit culture of teamwork, commitment, integrity, and caring.
