What is a Medical Surgical New Grad RN?

A Medical Surgical New Grad RN is a newly licensed registered nurse who works in the medical-surgical unit of a hospital or healthcare facility. This unit cares for adult patients with a wide range of medical conditions or those recovering from surgery. New grad RNs in this role are responsible for monitoring patients, administering medications, assisting with procedures, and collaborating with the healthcare team. They often benefit from residency or orientation programs that support their transition from student to professional nurse.

What are some common challenges a Medical Surgical New Grad RN might face in their first year, and how can they overcome them?

As a Medical Surgical New Grad RN, you may encounter challenges such as managing a heavy patient load, prioritizing multiple tasks, and adapting to fast-paced, unpredictable situations. It is common to feel overwhelmed initially, but seeking guidance from experienced nurses, utilizing mentorship programs, and actively participating in orientation sessions can help build your confidence. Effective time management, strong communication skills, and developing a support network within your unit are key strategies for overcoming these early challenges and ensuring a successful transition into the role.

Job description

To show our commitment to you and to assist with your transition into our organization, we will also offer up to a $15,000 sign-on and $5,000 in relocation assistance for experienced RNs.
You.

You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Med Surg Registered Nurse.

Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

You know how to stay organized and move fast.  You thrive in fast-paced environments.

You're great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Us.

 

Our Med Surg unit cares for a variety of Meed Surg patients, including minimally invasive procedures and more than a dozen specialties, including: Bariatric, Brain/Spine, Oncology, GI, GYN, CV and Orthopedics, including total joint, neck and spine surgeries.  We always focus on putting our patients first, which is evident through our hourly rounding, bedside reports, and manageable nurse-to-patient ratios.  We are proud to be an accredited Chest Pain Center, a Primary Stroke Center, and private teaching hospital.

Saint Joseph Hospital is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 365-bed facility is one of the top-ranked hospitals in Denver, and has been awarded the highest national recognition possible for nursing excellence - Magnet designation - by the ANCC. We are proud to extend the mission of SCL Health by providing care for the poor, the vulnerable, our communities and each other. Our deep community roots date back to 1873, making us one of the oldest hospitals in Colorado.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we've launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

We.

Together we'll align mission and careers, values and workplace. We'll honor each other's dignity and surpass the standards we set. We'll encourage joy, demand safety and take pride in our integrity.

We'll laugh at each other's jokes (even the bad ones). We'll hello and high five. We'll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

We're proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.

Your day.

As a Med Surg RN you need to know how to:

  • Recognize and address patients' psychological and physical needs
  • Foster continuity and quality of care with the best interest and well-being of patients and their families in mind
  • Assess a patients' medical status upon admission
  • Assist in developing individualized treatment plans
  • Comply with evaluation, treatment and documentation guidelines
  • Oversee care delivered by LPNs and/or CNAs

Your experience.

We hire people, not resumes. But we also expect excellence, which is why we require:

  • ASN / ADN from an accredited program with the ability to obtain your BSN from an accredited program within four (4) years of hire unless you possess a minimum of fifteen (15) years of proven continuous Registered Nurse experience in an acute care setting, required
  • Current Colorado RN license or compact license with the ability to obtain Colorado RN license, required
  • Current BLS certification endorsed by the American Heart Association or the ability to obtain within sixty (60) days of hire (with prior approval), required (ACLS/NRP/PALS as appropriate for unit or service)
  • At least one (1) year of nursing experience in a comparable acute care setting, highly preferred

Are you a New Grad RN?  Saint Joseph Hospital offers new graduate residency programs to help provide you with additional support as you begin your nursing career with us.  Check out our New Grad Featured Job section of our careers website to keep informed on which programs are currently accepting applications.

Your next move.
