Job Details
Join Cleveland Clinic’s Mercy Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Officially becoming a full member of the Cleveland Clinic Health System in 2021, Mercy Hospital offers a wide variety of medical specialties to the communities in and around Stark County. Here, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.
Mercy Hospital’s 20-bed Rehabilitation Unit cares for stroke and cardiac patients who need therapies to promote mobility and regain independence. With a “slower” pace and patients remaining in the unit for up to 14 days, caregivers are able to spend more time with their patients and really get to know them. Many of the discharged patients have come back to visit the unit as they are genuinely appreciative of the care they received. By joining this team as a Patient Care Nurse Assistant (PCNA), you will coordinate with fellow caregivers to create a welcoming, healing, and warm environment for patients. Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will include reviewing vitals and patient care goals for the day as well as assisting patients with activities of daily living. This is an excellent opportunity to start your nursing career and work in a supportive and caring healthcare setting.
