SUMMARY
As a Registered Nurse (RN), you are the engine and the heart of patient care at Rochester Regional Health. You make a positive difference every single day in the lives of our patients, their family members and visitors – going above and beyond to meet their needs with courtesy, kindness, respect and compassion.
Our Long Term Care Unit (B7) is a 25 bed unit that is considered Med/Surg but functions more holistically as Long-Term Care. Patients on B7 are medically ready and have a difficult discharge process: awaiting placement to a rehab center, pending guardianship, or need to find a new place to call home as their former home is no longer capable of living in. B7 houses mainly a geriatric population and may get behavioral patients on the unit.
