At Willis Knighton Pierremont, our Acute Care Post Op unit consists of 30 beds. Our primary population of patients includes preoperative and postoperative patients. Our unit offers motivated staff the opportunity to collaborate with a team that is committed to maintaining high standards of quality patient and family-centered care. We have a model of healthy work culture in which we expect and maintain a respectful environment for each other as well as our patients and their families in every form of communication and all interactions. As a Nursing Assistant, duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, assisting nurses by providing direct patient care such as assisting with activities of daily living (bathing, positioning, ambulating, toileting, meal assistance, recording vital signs). Additional responsibilities include communication and collaboration with nursing and allied health professionals regarding assessment findings, patient health concerns, and following the patient’s plan of care. Through this range of clinical experience, you will gain knowledge, confidence and build teamwork among your peers through shared experiences.
