Job Description:
Overview
6B Medical is Carolina Medical Center's unique medical observation
nursing unit is specifically designed to help manage the behavioral
health population in the acute care setting who are awaiting
inpatient psychiatric transfers. -
Our team works very closely with our emergency room partners,
hospitalists, consulting psychiatric liaison providers, as well as
our Behavioral Health Patient Placement partners to ensure our
vulnerable population is quickly transitioned to a facility that
offers specific services to meet their individual needs. - With
that said, our specialty is also unique in that we see a wide
variety of patients in our setting that includes many diagnoses
from addiction to Alzheimer's, as well as brain injury, other
traumas, and at times postpartum and maternity patients with mental
illness. - Even though we primarily focus on the observation
patient awaiting transfer to inpatient psych care facilities we do
have those who cannot transfer until medically cleared therefore
our Med/Surg skills are utilized but typically less than what one
would see on a typical fast pasted medical/surgical unit. -
Our hope is to onboard the right new teammates who has a strong
passion for the hard to care for patient population and a desire to
offer hope to those desperately in need of human kindness. - We are
a very tight-knit family unit looking for someone with a servant's
heart and an openness for daily learning experiences with a
willingness to participate as a contributing member of the
team.
