YNHHS Requisition ID 179454 Position Overview Unit: Celentano 2 Yale New Haven Hospital, Saint Raphael Campus Observation RN Observation nursing lies between emergency nursing and inpatient nursing- it is fast-paced and assessment-focused. Observation nurses care for patients who are not sick enough to be admitted as full inpatients but are not well enough to go home yet. These patients usually stay in the hospital 12-48 hours while doctors determine whether they need an inpatient admission or can be safely discharged. Observation nurses often have patients with conditions such as: · Chest pain · Heart failure · Stroke-like symptoms · Asthma exacerbation · Syncope · Dehydration · Abdominal Pain Nursing Duties: · Head-to-toe assessments · Vital sign checks · Reviews cardiac monitoring · Evaluates pain levels and symptoms · Thorough documentation Because observation patients are often being evaluated for possible discharge, our nurses spend time: · Medication teaching · Reviewing discharge instructions · Ensuring follow-up appointments are arranged Unlike inpatient units where patients may stay several days, observation units frequently admit and discharge patients on the same shift. An observation nurse may care for multiple admissions and discharges in a shift.
