About this role
Ascension's observation unit in Nashville focuses on acute respiratory care—managing patients with asthma, COPD, and pneumonia in a fast-paced, short-stay environment.

The role demands efficiency and strong clinical judgment, with close collaboration across the interdisciplinary team to ensure safe, timely transitions out of the unit.
This position requires a Tennessee-licensed RN with BLS certification obtained within your first month. While six months of acute care experience is preferred, the role is open to newly licensed nurses who can handle the pace and acuity of a high-turnover patient population.
