We Are Hiring:Registered Nurse (RN) - Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) - Full time (36 hrs/wk) - Midnights - Ascension St. John Hospital - Detroit, MI

Observation Unit:The Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) is a 28 bed adult emergency observation unit. We are the bridge between the ED and outpatient world. Our goal is to disposition patients in less than 24 hours. Some patients take just a few hours and some do go a bit beyond 24 hours. Typical diagnosis and workups include chest pain/telemetry, COPD/asthma, TIA, GI, urology, neuro, pain, some trauma, etc. We do a lot of treatments (IV therapy, respiratory treatments, antibiotics, pain management), specialty consultants, and diagnostic testing. As a comprehensive stroke center we manage many TIA. We send patients to surgery, procedures (endo/cysto), and cardiac cath lab. Some patients do get admitted to inpatient because they end up requiring a higher level of care. Most of our patients are discharged, so there is a lot of education and discharge planning. We do arrange placements for nursing homes/rehab also.
Patients are managed by certified ED physicians with consultants as needed. We also have midlevels and residents also assigned to CDU. Team is made up of RNs, PCTs, nurse interns, HUCs on all shifts. We work very closely with our case manager, social worker, pharmacist, and mulitdisciplinary teams (cath lab, nuclear & noninvasive , endoscopy, etc)
