Experienced Registered Nurse Medical Surgical

Job Description:

Full Time, Night Shift, Experienced RN position in the Medical Surgical unit at Heber Valley Hospital.

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care of patients. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by use of technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence-based practice and coordination of care with other health team members.

Heber Valley Hospital is a full-service community hospital dedicated to providing high-quality medical services to Wasatch County residents. Our services include emergency care, women and newborn services, orthopedic and general surgery, heart care, and cancer care. In 2020 we completed a five-year renovation project that enhanced access, privacy and improved the overall hospital experience.

Heber Valley Hospital has a rich history of providing medical care to Wasatch County. Heber Valley Hospital's roots go back to 1932 when the first hospital was opened in Lewis Alexander's home by Doctors Bert and T.A. Danneberg. In 1956 the hospital was renamed in honor of Dr. Karl O. Nielson and dedicated on May 25, 1969. Just before the 2002 Olympics, in 1999, Intermountain Health opened a new state-of-the-art medical facility at 454 East Medical Way, which expanded healthcare access for our community.

In order to meet the needs of a growing community in 2015, we embarked on a renovation project that added many inpatient and outpatient services to the campus, including expanded and improved surgical suites, extended urgent and emergency care services, Intermountain Cancer Services, and infusion therapy.
