- Provide post-anesthesia and postoperative monitoring, recovery, and nursing care; recognize emergencies and assist with emergency procedures as needed
- Obtain radiographs, assist with CT and MRI monitoring, and perform clinical laboratory testing for hospitalized patients; document results and communicate findings to the medical team
- Maintain inpatient nursing skills across surgery, oncology, internal medicine, neurology, and critical care, and assist with training patient care team members
- Maintain a clean, organized, well-stocked inpatient environment and follow patient safety and infection prevention protocols
