Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Mercy Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Officially becoming a full member of the Cleveland Clinic Health System in 2021, Mercy Hospital offers a wide variety of medical specialties to the communities in and around Stark County. Here, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 

 
Mercy Hospital’s 20-bed Rehabilitation Unit cares for stroke and cardiac patients who need therapies to promote mobility and regain independence. With a “slower” pace and patients remaining in the unit for up to 14 days, caregivers are able to spend more time with their patients and really get to know them. Many of the discharged patients have come back to visit the unit as they are genuinely appreciative of the care they received. By joining this team as a PCNA, you will coordinate with fellow caregivers to create a welcoming, healing, and warm environment for patients. Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will include reviewing vitals and patient care goals for the day as well as assisting patients with activities of daily living. This is an excellent opportunity to start your nursing career and work in a supportive and caring healthcare setting.   

 
A caregiver in this position works days from 7:00AM – 7:30PM, including rotating weekends and holidays. 

 
A caregiver who excels in this role will:  

• Provide or assist with patient care under the supervision of an RN. Patient care may include vital signs, weight, assisting patients with personal care and activities of daily living, patient transfers/transport, pulse oximetry, point of care testing, dressing changes, applying external monitoring devices and removing urinary Foley catheter.  

• Report abnormal findings or changes in physical, mental and emotional conditions to an RN.  

• Assist with keeping patients’ rooms clean and orderly.  

 
Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

• High School Diploma or GED 

• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross (If you do not hold this certification, you must obtain it during your new hire period) 

• Nursing students: Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross required upon hire 

• Military experience as a Hospital Corpsman (HM), Combat Medic (68W) or Medical Service Technician (4N0X1) will be considered
