Job Details

Team Based Care Delivery Model:
with bedside RN, LPN, CNA
36 or 48 Hour Contract
5 West is a 40-bed non specialty med-surg unit caring for patients ages 18 and older. The staff cares for a variety of medical and telemetry patients with acute and/or chronic illness, such as sepsis, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, cardiac disease, and COVID-19. Staff members will manage titratable drips, chest tubes, tracheostomies, complex wound care, post-bariatric procedures, high oxygen delivery systems and end-of-life care.
5 West will begin piloting a team-based care delivery model in January 2025 and wants to ensure that each team member is well versed and educated on how this model of care benefits not only the patient, but each staff member as well. Team based care is a group of licensed and unlicensed healthcare professionals working in unison towards a common goal to care for a group of patients. Our team-based care delivery model consists of Lead Nurses, bedside Registered Nurses, Virtual Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Nursing Assistants. Virtual nurses are incorporated into the team to perform administrative tasks that require an RN license but do not require physical presence (i.e., admission and discharge paperwork, patient education, dual nurse sign offs, etc.).
Team based care allows for nurses to work at the top of their scope and effectively uses each team member's strengths, skills, and experiences as well as promotes teamwork, communication, and leadership.
Nebraska Medical Center - Nebraska Medical Center (NMC) is the No. 1 rated hospital in the Omaha metro area and the state of Nebraska. NMC is a 718 acute-care bed facility that provides care to some of the sickest and most complex patients from a team of experts that represents more than 1,000 physicians in all major specialties and services. As the teaching hospital for the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), our patients also benefit from one of the nation's leaders in cutting edge research and education.
