The ideal candidate is a strong communicator who can effectively coordinate with physicians, ancillary departments, and leadership to resolve issues, address patient and family concerns, and support smooth unit operations. You will be expected to participate in huddles and staff meetings, contribute to problem-solving and decision-making, and escalate concerns appropriately to nursing leadership. With a focus on patient-centered care, you will advocate for patients and families, provide education, and ensure that care plans are clearly communicated and understood. At Piedmont Healthcare, you will have access to ongoing training and professional development programs designed to support your advancement as a clinical leader. As a Charge RN, you will have the opportunity to influence unit culture, contribute to innovative care delivery models, and help shape best practices across the continuum of care.
