Discharge Unit RN 7a-7:30p part time

Position Summary

The Discharge Nurse serves as a centralized clinical resource responsible for proactively identifying, tracking, coordinating, and escalating barriers that delay safe inpatient discharge. Working across inpatient nursing units, providers, case management, pharmacy, ancillary services, transportation, and the Discharge Lounge, the RN supports reliable progression of medically ready patients through the discharge process. The role emphasizes real-time discharge coordination, standardized barrier tracking, interdisciplinary communication, and hospital throughput. The Discharge RN supplements—but does not replace—the responsibilities of the primary inpatient nurse, provider, case manager, or other discipline.
