As a Registered Nurse in the DTC, you will contribute to maintaining patient flow across the hospital by supporting safe discharge practices, reducing delays, and ensuring continuity of care. You will apply clinical judgement and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment, balancing clinical care with coordination and communication across multiple teams and service lines.
