The Ortho/Neuro unit at Duke Regional Hospital is comprised of a 40-bedded floor with Orthopedics and Neuroscience specialties. This is a fast-paced state-of-the-art orthopedic and neurosurgery unit that uses enhanced recovery after surgery principles to both minimize narcotic usage and get the patient home and back to baseline as quickly as we can. The majority of our patients stay 6-24 hours on the unit, in that time they are provided for by a tremendous interdisciplinary team of nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, care managers, pharmacists, and doctors - and it's the teamwork that makes this unit soar.. The nursing unit utilizes Epic for the EMR, Omnicell for the medications, and Pyxis for the patient supplies. It's the teamwork that makes the unit soar, and it is that same teamwork that the staff relishes and keeps them together.  Eager to add like-minded motivated nurses to our staff.
