If you’re an RN looking for an alternative to bedside nursing and need standard hours Monday-Friday, check out the UAB Medicine Clinical Call Center to challenge your nursing skills in a new way. You will utilize your nursing assessment skills and act autonomously to triage calls from patients, caregivers, and other health care team members while working at a fast but steady pace – which can be a welcome change from the floor. And although you are not at the bedside providing hands on patient care, you still have meaningful interactions with patients.
