As an RN at Hoag Hospital, you can expect to work 8- or 12-hour shifts, often as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team on a designated unit such as med-surg, ICU, or emergency. Your day typically involves patient assessments, medication administration, care coordination, documentation in the EHR, and regular communication with both patients and their families. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, fellow nurses, therapists, and support staff to ensure comprehensive care. The pace can be fast, and flexibility is key, but support from experienced colleagues and ongoing training help you manage daily challenges while growing your skills.
