Your Opportunity

Join a collaborative, fast-paced team providing holistic, patient-centered care for individuals with neurological conditions. As a Nurse Clinician, you will lead, mentor, and support staff while maintaining bedside competency and fostering a culture of safety and quality improvement.

Key Responsibilities: Oversee the care of all patients on the unit, maintaining a working knowledge of each patient’s diagnosis, condition, plan of care, discharge plan, and family dynamics. Assist the multidisciplinary team in creating detailed plans of care, including medical management, discharge planning, and repatriation. Liaise with nursing staff, physicians, allied health professionals, patients, and families throughout the shift to ensure timely admissions, discharges, and patient flow.

Constantly triage competing demands and prioritize tasks in a busy, dynamic environment. Make quick, informed decisions that impact patient care and unit operations; collaborate with site leadership and senior flow coordinators to manage bed flow and optimize admissions/discharges. Act as a coach, leader, and mentor for staff, fostering teamwork and professional growth (not responsible for discipline or investigations).

Lead daily interdisciplinary rounds and communicate effectively with the broader team, including public speaking responsibilities. Demonstrate strong conflict resolution and de-escalation skills when managing challenging situations with patients, families, or team members. Maintain self-supervision while accessing support from the Unit Manager, senior flow coordinators, and other charge nurses as needed.
