Part Time Non Clinical Rn Jobs in Orangeburg, SC

The Close Observation Unit (COU) at the Mersey Community Hospital is a sixbed level 2 critical care area designed for acutely ill medical and surgical patients who require close haemodynamic, cardiac, respiratory, or neurological monitoring beyond what can be provided on a standard ward. It supports patients with singleorgan failure, arrhythmias, respiratory compromise, postoperative needs, sepsis, DKA, and other acute conditions, offering noninvasive ventilation, cardiac monitoring, complex assessments, and stabilisation prior to transfer when needed. Care is delivered within a valuesdriven framework grounded in Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence, alongside the unit's extended values of Integrity, Advocacy, Team, Learning, Mentorship, Enthusiasm, Cohesion and Communication, which collectively guide practice and team culture. These principles underpin the unit's commitment to evidencebased care, collaborative teamwork, patientcentred decisionmaking, continuous quality improvement, and safe, timely escalation or transfer when higherlevel care is required.

Registered Nurses working in the COU deliver safe, highquality, patientcentred care through comprehensive assessments, close physiological monitoring, early recognition of deterioration, and timely intervention. They collaborate within a multidisciplinary team, attend daily medical rounds, maintain accurate documentation, support patient education, and adhere to policies, safety systems, and quality processes. COU nurses maintain specialised skills-including ECG interpretation, ALS competence, noninvasive ventilation management, and emergency response-while supporting junior staff and actively participating in professional development and continuous improvement initiatives. You will be joining a close-knit team who values skill, knowledge and the pursuit of the same in a supportive environment. 

• • Grow your clinical confidence with structured support, including access to a dedicated Clinical Nurse Educator, monthly education calendars, simulations, journal club, and foundational COU learning requirements such as ECG basics, fullbody assessments, NIV skills, and ALS1.

  • Join a highly supportive team environment where teamwork, mentorship, advocacy, communication, and learning are central values, and where the NUM, CNE ANUMs, and senior nurses provide guidance, supervision, and handson teaching to help you progress safely into higheracuity care as needed.

  • Build your acute care capability stepbystep, caring for patients requiring close observation, cardiac monitoring, respiratory support, and early deterioration recognition, with clear escalation pathways, structured orientation, and opportunities to develop into advanced roles over time.
