Akicita Federal is hiring Registered Nurses to deliver direct, high-acuity primary and specialty care to veterans served by the Dayton VA Medical Center in Dayton, OH. In this role, you will spend the vast majority of your time at the bedside — assessing patients, driving care plans, and making real-time clinical decisions that directly improve veteran health outcomes. If you thrive in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment where your independent judgment and technical skills matter every day, this is your opportunity. - Perform critical care nursing for ICU patients and fulfill scrub and circulating duties in the Emergency Department and Operating Room as assigned. - Conduct thorough patient assessments, formulate individualized nursing care plans, and document all clinical interventions directly into the electronic medical record. - Administer prescribed medications and IV therapies, monitor patient responses, and maintain comprehensive knowledge of emergency medications stored on the crash cart. - Interpret cardiac rhythms, recognize clinical implications, and initiate appropriate life-saving measures — including in the absence of an on-site physician. - Operate complex technical equipment including defibrillators, EKG machines, and cardiac monitors; perform central line and ventilator care in compliance with facility policies. - Conduct skin assessments and implement nursing interventions to prevent hospital-acquired pressure ulcers; accurately record patient intake and output each shift. - Educate patients and families on medications, therapies, and procedures; actively participate in interdisciplinary discharge planning and log any patient safety incidents within required timeframes.
