The job of nurses on the Medical-Surgical Unit is challenging and rewarding. We take care of pediatric to geriatric patient populations. Patient diagnoses run the spectrum from the common cold to post-surgical care. A collaborative, team approach to patient care is utilized. Nurses work with physicians and other disciplines including respiratory therapists, physical therapists, social services and others within the hospital to coordinate and manage patient care and provide quality, evidence-based care to patients.

Quality care providers include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants, orderlies and unit clerks. All team members work together to provide safe, quality care to patients. In an effort to promote a smooth transition to care outside of the hospital, patient self-care is a part of the patient’s overall plan of care. Patient and family education is provided as a part of the patient’s transition to their self-care environment.

Nursing is the front line of the health care team and it provides endless personal and professional rewards. Being a member of the Whitfield Regional Hospital Nursing Team will allow you to fulfill your professional goals in relation to your place in the continuum of care.
