Gifford is seeking a skilled and adaptable Acute Care Resource Nurse to join our team. This hospital-wide role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by providing flexible clinical and operational support across multiple units based on real-time patient care needs.

The Acute Care Resource Nurse is a versatile, hospital-wide Registered Nurse who provides dynamic clinical and operational support across multiple units based on real-time patient care needs. Reporting to the Clinical Nurse Manager (CNM), this role ensures safe and efficient patient care by supporting inpatient units with patient assignments, admissions, discharges, high-acuity care, break coverage, and patient flow.

In addition to inpatient support, the Resource Nurse flexibly assists the Emergency Department, Birthing Center, and Surgical Services during periods of lower census, providing critical care support, triage, behavioral health safety coverage, postpartum overflow, and response to high-acuity events.
