Novant Health is seeking a compassionate and detail‑oriented Registered Nurse for our Medical Surgical unit within our Healthcare & Medical Services department. In this role, you will provide high‑quality, evidence‑based nursing care to a diverse population of adult patients with a wide range of medical and post‑surgical conditions. You will be responsible for performing comprehensive assessments, developing individualized care plans, administering medications and treatments, monitoring patient responses, and collaborating closely with physicians and an interdisciplinary care team to promote safe, effective, and timely patient recovery.

As a Medical Surgical Registered Nurse at Novant Health, you will manage a dynamic patient load in a fast‑paced acute care environment. Your daily responsibilities will include monitoring vital signs and clinical status, initiating and maintaining IV therapies, performing wound and post‑operative care, managing pain and symptom relief, and recognizing and responding promptly to changes in patient condition. You will coordinate care transitions and participate in discharge planning, ensuring that patients and families receive clear instructions, education, and support to continue care safely at home or in other settings.

You will document all assessments, interventions, and patient outcomes accurately and efficiently within our electronic health record system, supporting continuity of care and adherence to regulatory and organizational standards. You will actively contribute to a culture of safety by following infection control practices, fall‑prevention protocols, and medication administration policies, and by speaking up for patient needs and concerns. Collaboration is central to this role; you will partner with physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, therapists, case managers, and support staff to coordinate holistic care that improves patient outcomes.

Aligned with Novant Health’s mission of improving health, you will also play a key role in patient and family education, explaining diagnoses, procedures, medications, and self‑care strategies in a clear and compassionate manner. You will support our culture of diversity and personalized care by respecting individual backgrounds, values, and preferences, and advocating for each patient’s unique needs. You will be encouraged to participate in quality improvement initiatives, shared governance activities, and professional development opportunities that foster continual learning, innovation, and growth in your nursing practice.

Novant Health offers a supportive environment where nurses are empowered to use advanced technology and evidence‑based practices to deliver excellent care. In this Medical Surgical nursing role, you will have opportunities to expand your clinical skills, pursue specialty certifications, and progress professionally within one of the leading healthcare providers in the southeastern United States. If you are a dedicated Registered Nurse who thrives in collaborative teams, is committed to patient safety and positive outcomes, and is passionate about making a meaningful impact on patients’ lives every day, we invite you to join Novant Health’s Medical Surgical team.
