RN Emergency

Overview:

Shift: Part Time, 7:30 AM - 8:00 PM

As a member of the interdisciplinary care team, this role contributes professional nursing knowledge and skills in the delivery and management of care for patients and their families. Nurses maintain a practice environment that reflects the ANA Code of Ethics, the UnityPoint Health Philosophy of Nursing, and the Professional Nurse Practice Model, working collaboratively with all members of the care team.

Our nurses are highly trained to care for patients across the lifespan. In the Emergency Department, they expertly perform bedside procedures, utilize critical trauma and medical equipment, and manage continuous bedside monitoring in most patient rooms to ensure accurate, real-time assessment. ED nurses also administer vasoactive medications to support blood pressure and provide sedation for ventilated patients.

Rock Island operates as a Level II Trauma Center, while Bettendorf is designated as a Level IV Trauma Center, giving our teams the opportunity to care for a wide range of trauma acuity across both locations.

To support success, we offer a comprehensive 3–4 month orientation for new nurses, which includes hands-on bedside training, classroom education, and strong leadership support throughout the transition into the department
