Registered Nurse Float HOPD
Franciscan HealthAbout the role
Just who is the RN Float? A person who thrives in a fast-paced, busy environment. A person who is able to efficiently answer calls, listen and determine the best course of action – and do it all day long and maybe not the same place each day. A person who can work through the voice mails and the in-basket and make sure each patient touched is helped pleasantly and properly.
