What We Offer:

We are a 30bed adult acute care unit offering medicaltelemetry (MedTele) services, bridging general medicalsurgical care and intensive care. We emphasize a collaborative, teamnursing model in which staff assist with admissions, medication passes, and resource needs to provide exceptional care. MedTele serves a broad and varied patient population—cardiac, neurologic, respiratory, sepsis, electrolyte imbalance, stroke, and postprocedure patients—making it a foundational unit that supports many nursing specialties

Our leadership team includes a Nurse Manager supported by two Assistant Nurse Managers. We deliver care in a supportive team model, ensuring the highest standards of safety and patient experience. MedTele units offer continuous noninvasive monitoring, positioning us between a typical Med/Surg unit and an ICU—providing greater vigilance without the need for intensive care interventions

  • Experience: One year relevant experience, preferred.
  • Licensure/Certification: Current RN licensure in appropriate state, required.
What You'll Do:

The Registered Nurse serves as a leader of the healthcare team at Novant Health by establishing an authentic personalized relationship with the patient and their chosen support system, collaborating with physicians and other team members to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate an individualized plan of care that promotes optimal health or supports a peaceful death.
