Clinical Assistant Nursing Resource Pool

Job Description

CLINICAL ASSISTANT 

About this unit 

The Nursing Resource Pool (NRP) is made up of a variety of Nurses (ICU nurses, progressive-care nurses, and medical-surgical nurses), Nursing Assistants, and Patient Observation Aides (Patient Sitters). The Nursing Resource Pool staff are like the lifeguards of the hospital. Each day and night, NRP staff are deployed throughout the hospital to help to rescue all areas that find themselves short-staffed and drowning. Because the NRP staff are able to go all over the hospital to provide care, the NRP experience is a fantastic learning environment for those who are in school as it allows staff to care for nearly every kind of patient that is admitted to the hospital. NRP staff rarely get bored, because the types of patients they care for changes nearly every day. The patients, families, and staff of the hospital all greatly value and appreciate the help and expertise that the NRP staff provide to them.
