MercyOne - Des Moines, IA
posted 3 months ago
MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center is seeking a dedicated and skilled Registered Nurse (RN) for a unique opportunity to deliver patient care through remote bedside nursing from our new Virtual Command Center (VCC) located in Des Moines, Iowa. This full-time position requires the nurse to work on-site at the central HUB, as this is not a remote work-from-home position. The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) from an accredited program, with a preference for those who have a Master's degree in nursing as a Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) or Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). The role involves assessing and caring for patients admitted to our Medical/Surgical/Telemetry units using video conferencing technology to conduct virtual nursing rounds. This innovative approach to patient care not only limits the nurse's exposure to contagious diseases but also reduces the patient's risk of additional illnesses and minimizes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). As a Virtual RN, you will be responsible for providing patients with virtual health assessments and treatment solutions, creating, implementing, and monitoring care plans in collaboration with other care teams. The position requires a high degree of comfort with technology, including electronic charting and video conferencing, as well as the ability to think and act quickly in emergency scenarios. MercyOne Central Iowa operates four not-for-profit, Catholic medical centers and has a long-standing history of providing quality healthcare since its founding by the Sisters of Mercy in 1893. With over 7,000 employees and a medical staff of more than 1,000 physicians and allied health associates, MercyOne is one of the largest employers in the state, offering a supportive work environment that values employee well-being and work/life balance.
