This Neurology RN opportunity is based in Gainesville, FL at a 523-bed acute care hospital that is certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, accredited by the Joint Commission, and holds an Accredited Chest Pain Center designation from the American College of Cardiology. The hospital is also designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery and Bariatric Surgery.

The role. Reporting within the neurology department, the RN conducts thorough patient assessments at admission and each scheduled shift, identifying and escalating changes in patient status in a timely manner. The nurse carries out provider-ordered procedures and monitoring, ensures accurate and prompt documentation in the medical record, and administers prescribed medications while closely monitoring for therapeutic response and managing any unintended reactions.
