Your responsibilities include assisting with weaning protocols, coordinating with physicians, nurses, and therapists, and documenting outcomes with meticulous accuracy. You’ll lead patient and family education on device use, therapy goals, and discharge planning, ensuring continuity of care across shifts. The position also offers professional growth opportunities—your depth of experience can open pathways to advanced practice, specialty rotations, leadership responsibilities, and cross-disciplinary training, all supported by a culture that values continued learning and clinical excellence. A robust benefits package complements your clinical impact, featuring a sign-on incentive, housing assistance to ease transition, and extension opportunities to align with evolving career goals.
