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 4A Transitional Care and Discharge Unit is a 12-bed unit that will be opening permanently to reduce Emergency Department holding and to promote better throughput. Patients in this unit consist of those who are transitioning from acute care to home or another care setting and patients who no longer require the intensity of acute hospital care but still need specialized medical, nursing or other care before discharge. As an RN on the team, you will deliver exceptional care, throughout the patient care journey. In this role, you will interact directly with patients and their families, offering the opportunity to enhance their experience, provide healthcare education as needed, and ensure that they are equipped to leave the hospital care setting.
