Full Time Weekend Rn information

What are the typical weekend responsibilities and shift structures for a Full Time Weekend RN?

Full Time Weekend RNs generally work extended shifts, such as 12-hour shifts on both Saturday and Sunday, and sometimes an additional shift on Friday or Monday, depending on the facility's needs. During these shifts, you'll handle patient assessments, medication administration, care planning, and respond to medical emergencies, often with a smaller weekend staff. Collaboration with physicians, ancillary staff, and on-call supervisors is essential to maintain continuity of care. While weekends can bring unique challenges like higher patient acuity or limited support services, many nurses appreciate the condensed schedule and the opportunity for increased autonomy.

What are Full Time Weekend RNs?

Full Time Weekend RNs are registered nurses who primarily work full-time hours during weekends, usually covering shifts on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. These positions are common in hospitals and healthcare facilities that require round-the-clock patient care. Weekend RNs often receive premium pay rates or additional benefits due to the non-traditional work schedule. Their responsibilities are similar to other RNs, including assessing patients, administering medications, and coordinating care, but condensed into the weekend timeframe. This role is ideal for nurses seeking a work schedule that allows for weekdays off.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Full Time Weekend RN, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Full Time Weekend RN, you need strong clinical skills, thorough patient assessment abilities, and a current RN license, usually supported by an accredited nursing degree. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), medication administration systems, and standard hospital equipment is crucial. Outstanding interpersonal communication, time management, and resilience help nurses excel during high-demand weekend shifts.

This is a Full Time, Evening Shift Poition - No Weekends 

Flexible Rotating Schedule:  10:45am - 9:15pm / 12:45 - 11:15 

The Main Operating Room Registered Nurse (RN) will be responsible for every aspect of the patient's care during surgery. The day begins with preparing the room for the procedure, picking the patient up from pre-op, positioning the patient, maintaining the charting and caring for the patient before, during and after the surgery. The nurse will act as the liaison between the family and the surgeon beginning with the call to let the family know that the first incision has been made. The nurse will continue to contact the family every hour or two to provide updates. During the surgery, the nurse is responsible for updating charting/paperwork, getting supplies if needed and administering meds to the sterile field. This process may be repeated for 1-4 surgeries a day depending on length of each surgery. The nurse works in an extremely team focused environment with their core team, scrub personnel, CRNA, Anesthesiologist and surgeon. The department is fast paced and technologically driven, which includes 3 DaVinci robots.  Springfield Memorial Hospital had one of the first DaVinci Xis in the area.

A Registered Nurse at Springfield Memorial Hospital means becoming a part of a Magnet hospital that raises the bar for excellence.  The SMH environment expects high quality care for patients and RNs who want to advance learning to ensure they can be the best nurse possible. Quality nurses not only understand, but also exhibit, that "care starts with caring."  Nursing is about caring for people. Above all else, working at Memorial means we expect you to exceed customer expectations.  You can do this by treating each patient as if they are the only one you are caring for that day, being the calm voice for the family, finding the answers when you don't have one, and displaying compassion in all interactions.

The registered nurse is responsible for delegation, supervision, and provision of nursing care for a designated group of patients through utilization of the nursing process.  They will provide age-appropriate care and will participate in research when appropriate and incorporate research findings into evidence-based clinical practice. In addition, they will contribute to quality improvement processes and adhere to SMH Mission, Vision, and Values, the Nursing Division Mission, Vision, and Philosophy, the ANA Code of Ethics and the Illinois Nursing Act.
