That’s why more than 80% of our hospitals earn an A or B Leapfrog safety grade, rank in the top 5% nationally for patient outcomes through Health Grades , or are recognized as Magnet or Pathway to Excellence facilities. Join us at the Free Standing Emergency Room -Shawnee! Job Summary and Qualifications Our freestanding emergency departments offer experienced emergency nurses the opportunity to continue practicing high-quality emergency care in a smaller, community-based setting. Compared with a large hospital emergency department, the environment often provides a more manageable and predictable patient flow, a close-knit care team, and greater opportunity for individualized patient education and connection. You will continue to use your emergency nursing skills while caring for patients across a wide range of conditions. Because the department operates with a smaller on-site team, nurses also practice with a high level of autonomy, collaboration, and accountability. Patients requiring a higher level of care are stabilized and transferred to the appropriate hospital setting. This may be an ideal opportunity for an experienced emergency nurse who enjoys emergency medicine but is seeking a more focused practice environment with supportive leadership and strong team relationships. Practice emergency nursing in a smaller, community-based setting with a close-knit interdisciplinary team. Experience a generally more predictable patient flow than a large hospital-based emergency department while maintaining your emergency assessment, stabilization, and critical-thinking skills.
