Department Details
The Pediatric Acute unit cares for patients ranging from a few days old to 18 years of age. In this unit, you will see a vast variety of medical diagnoses including but not limited to pediatric trauma, post-operative surgeries, oncology, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, neurological conditions, and gastroenterological illnesses.
Sanford Children's Castle of Care Hospital in Sioux Falls offers a welcoming, vibrant place of healing for children. Join a fun, positive, and supportive nursing team that strives to provide exceptional care to our patients. This role offers many opportunities for growth and development in your nursing career!
This unit is comprised of a 44-bed unit and additional 11-bed overflow unit with telemetry capabilities for surgical patients. The unit provides care to a variety of patient populations, most frequently being surgical related. The unit works closely with several different surgeon groups and patients including general surgery, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, OB-GYN surgery, bariatric surgery, and trauma-related surgery. The RN working on this unit learns to manage the complex needs of a number of different surgical procedures, in addition to the medical history/needs of patients. This diversity creates an excellent opportunity to learn and establish a strong critical thinking and time management skill set.
The unit works closely with other departments such PACU and ICU as patients transition from these departments to 2000. The technical, hands-on skills of nursing are used every day on the unit, as most patients come with a number of tubes, lines, drains, and/or wound cares/dressing changes. This combination creates a challenging, fast-paced environment to work in, and provides an opportunity for learning, growth, and a strong foundation for any nursing career.
This position will have a rotating schedule between the adult surgical unit and the pediatric unit and allows for flexibility to work between the two units depending on need.
