Providing exceptional wound care depends on the excellent nurses on the Skin and Wound Assessment Team (SWAT) at John Muir Health
What's It Like For A SWAT RN?
Provide key support to meet vital needs.
The Skin and Wound Assessment Team (SWAT) at John Muir Health is a vital component of our wound care treatment. As a nurse on this collaborative team, you'll experience the rewards of working closely with physicians and other disciplines to help our patient population get the best possible treatment for wounds and other skin care needs.
SWAT nurses support the medical and nursing staffs in delivering optimal care to patients with complex wounds, ostomies, and other special skin care needs. They consult with staff nurses and physicians to provide treatment recommendations, and assist physicians with preoperative stoma site marking upon request. The team assists with staff development through the RN Residency Program and focused in-services, and ensures that assessments and interventions are based on current evidence-based practices. The team also coordinates the quarterly pressure ulcer prevalence and incidence studies.
These nurses are compassionate and knowledgeable of both physical and emotional issues surrounding wounds and ostomies. The ideal candidate is a certified wound or certified wound and ostomy nurse who enjoys patient care, patient teaching, staff development and participating in performance improvement initiatives.
When compassion is a key component of your care, consider applying to John Muir Health.
