Triage RN

Overview

As a Triage Registered Nurse at CHI St. Alexius Health Devils Lake, you'll play a crucial role in assisting the emergency department with handling immediate and critical medical situations. As a Triage Nurse, you'll be the first touchpoint to the people in our community during health emergencies.

No two days in emergency nursing are ever the same. You're a multitasker who can react quickly as you'll prioritize patients based on their medical necessity while you're providing emergency triage to others. As part of our ER team, you'll partner with an experienced clinical team to deliver stabilizing care to our patients by performing IV starts, foley catheter insertions, or aiding providers with chest tube insertions.

To thrive as a triage nurse, you should exhibit teamwork, professionalism, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to take on additional projects such as patient experience initiatives. More than anything, you should be energetic and motivated to provide quality care to all of our patients, maintaining their dignity at every step.
