Our eVideon platform supports MyChart Bedside, electronic whiteboards, electronic door signs, patient entertainment options, and relaxation channels, helping improve communication, engagement, and patient satisfaction.
-
Nurse-Centered Technology: Be part of a team utilizing CLARA (Clinical Listening and Real-Time Assistant), an innovative ambient documentation tool that helps nurses document care in real time while spending less time on a computer or mobile device. CLARA currently supports documentation within Daily Cares & Safety, Assessment, Intake & Output, and LDA workflows in Epic, allowing nurses to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.

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. The Registered Nurse utilizes best scientific evidence and compassion to assist the patient in navigating their health journey. The Registered Nurse accepts responsibility, authority, and accountability for management and provision of care in accordance with the current policies and procedures.
What You'll Do
Think of us as the dynamic bridge between the ED and discharge. Our patients don't need a full inpatient admission, but they do need close monitoring, expert care, and quick clinical decisions. Because of our shorter stays, you’ll experience a faster turnover than traditional med-surg units—keeping your shift engaging and your skills sharp!
What We're Looking For
-
Education: 4 Year / Bachelors Degree, preferred. Graduate of an accredited school of nursing required. If your RN nursing license has been inactive, retired or lapsed for five years or more and you have not been licensed in another state during the last five years, successful completion of a Board approved refresher course is required prior to reactivating or reinstating your license. In order to be considered for current licensure status, you must apply for reinstatement within one year of completing the refresher course.
-
Experience: One year relevant experience, preferred.
-
Licensure/Certification: RN licensure in appropriate state, required.
Why Choose Novant Health?
