RN Staff at Willis-Knighton Health System – Shreveport, Louisiana

Full‑Time | Acute Care Hospital | Willis Knighton North

About Us
Our 24‑bed Surgical/Med‑Surg Unit cares for adult patients recovering from a wide range of surgical procedures, as well as complex medical admissions. We are a fast‑paced, team‑driven environment where clinical skill, critical thinking, and genuine compassion come together to support healing. We believe great nursing starts with truly liking people—our patients, their families, and each other.

• A strong communicator who thrives on teamwork
• Dedicated to safe, evidence‑based practice

• Support patients through pre‑ and post‑operative recovery, pain management, wound care, and mobility goals
• Collaborate closely with surgeons, hospitalists, PT/OT, case management, and the interdisciplinary team
• Educate patients and families about procedures, recovery expectations, and discharge needs
• Participate in unit quality initiatives and continuous improvement efforts
• Deliver care with empathy, dignity, and respect in every encounter

What We Offer

• Competitive pay and sign‑on bonus opportunities

• Tuition assistance
• A supportive, engaged leadership team that values your well‑being
• A culture built on teamwork, communication, and whole‑person care
