The Medical Care Unit at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC) has an excellent opportunity for a Clinical Nurse 2 to join the team.
Wright Saunder 3 is a dynamic, 12-bed inpatient medical/surgical telemetry unit primarily serving the adult population of West Philadelphia. This floor offers the practitioner the opportunity to impart lasting change on the lives of its patients through its team-based nursing approach, as well as through the close relationships forged between other services, including Physicians, Pharmacists, Physical Therapy, Respiratory, Speech-Language Pathology, and Case Management, all of whom play a crucial role in improving patient health and navigating the care continuum. Some of the common patient diseases seen on the floor encompass medical complexities associated with COPD, CHF, pneumonia, GI-related illnesses, Diabetes, renal failure, sepsis, end-of-life, and drug and alcohol withdrawal. The Wright 3 staff independently monitor and interpret telemetry. If you are interested in a supportive, team-focused floor that allows you to provide world-class patient care, please consider joining Wright Saunder 3. BLS required, ACLS encouraged (will train on site).
