Job Description Summary:

Schedule: Monday – Friday, No weekends & No holidays
• Hours: 8:00am – 4:30pm
• Occasional travel to Dublin and Pickerington Trauma Clinics (Coverage
support per business needs)

We’re seeking a skilled and independent Registered Nurse to join our Trauma Resource team in a newly created role focused on care coordination, discharge planning, and patient education across the trauma continuum. This position is designed to support trauma patients as they transition from inpatient care to recovery, serving as a key connector between the inpatient trauma team and outpatient follow-up. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced RN who enjoys autonomy, collaboration with Providers, and guiding patients through complex care plans rather than providing routine bedside care.

In this role, you’ll work closely with Physicians and APPs to complete documentation, coordinate follow-up care, and provide comprehensive education to patients and families. The role is less focused on hands-on patient care and more centered on ensuring patients understand their recovery plan, next steps, and available resources. While this position is not assigned to a specific clinic, there may be rare occasions where coverage is needed at the Dublin or Pickerington trauma clinics if a Trauma Resource Nurse is unavailable.

You’ll be part of a highly collaborative, supportive trauma team that values trust, independence, and clear communication. This role offers the chance to help shape a new position within the program while making a meaningful impact on patient outcomes through strong education and care coordination. The ideal candidate will bring several years of trauma, ED, or ICU experience, strong clinical judgment, and a passion for helping patients navigate recovery beyond the hospital setting. If you’re looking for a rewarding role that blends clinical expertise with education and transitional care planning, this position offers a unique and fulfilling opportunity!
