Job Details

Registered Nurse - Surgical Unit - GYN & Urology - Midnights

4B is a 35-bed, fast-paced surgical unit where no two days are the same. Our team specializes in caring for patients recovering from urologic, gynecologic, abdominal, and general emergency surgeries. We care for patients at a pivotal point in their journey, often seeing them arrive feeling their worst and helping them regain strength, confidence, and independence before returning home.

The pace on 4B is dynamic, with frequent admissions, discharges, and patient progression. This high-volume environment offers caregivers the opportunity to develop strong assessment skills, sharpen clinical judgment, and build confidence in managing a wide variety of patient needs. Nurses on 4B regularly care for patients with surgical drains, NG tubes, tube feedings, TPN, IV medications, wound vacs, and other advanced therapies, providing a rich and rewarding learning experience.

4B is an excellent unit for nurses who enjoy critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to achieve the best possible outcomes. Every day brings opportunities to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact on patients and families during some of their most vulnerable moments.

If you are looking for a unit that combines hands-on surgical nursing, clinical complexity, continuous learning, and the satisfaction of seeing patients recover and return home healthier than when they arrived, 4B is the place for you.
