General Summary/basic PURPOSE OF JOB:

The registered nurse (RN) demonstrates key behaviors in the areas of care delivery, leadership, collaboration, and professional growth. Care delivery includes assessing status, identifying problems, developing, and implementing a plan of care through the delivery and delegation of care, evaluating care delivery, promoting patient/family education and involving the patient/family and other members of the health care team in planning and implementation to meet expected healthcare outcomes.

Care is delivered, viewing the person as a whole being, including but not limited to physiological, psychological, and spiritual aspects. Consideration of the individual’s age, developmental level, learning ability, health status and belief system are integral in care delivery. Leadership is evidenced as RNs influence individuals or groups to accomplish goals through guiding, directing, teaching, coaching and motivating others as well as delegating duties to other licensed and non-licensed personnel. Communication and collaboration with patients, families, physicians, and other health care professionals/disciplines is essential in delivering care. Professional growth is essential in providing care, as the RN shares knowledge, gains knowledge and contributes to knowledge through participation in formal and informal continuing education programs and research. The RN operates within the framework of the Mission, Vision, and Values of Sinai Health System.

Acute setting will have on-call requirements.

Caregiver may be assigned to work at any of the four locations at any given time (Mount Sinai Hospital, Schwab Rehab Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, and Ogden Commons).
