Nursing is one of the most challenging and rewarding occupations out there - not to mention one of the most in-demand. By working as a nurse for Monarch HealthCare, you'll get to use everything you've learned throughout your nursing career to take care of patients in a whole new way.
As a Monarch nurse, you'll work out of an office or hospital, doing more planning and preparing than physical labor. You'll spend most of your time monitoring our patients' healthcare from start to finish, which means doing everything from putting together discharge plans to talking to family members to visiting patients at home after they're released.
Our nurses are responsible for making sure that patients receive the care they need from the minute they enter the hospital until they're finished recovering at home. As opposed to a regular nursing position, where your relationship with a patient usually ends when they leave the hospital, our nurses are able to follow-up with patients and focus more on seeing them through a full recovery.
As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - the new healthcare law enacted by Congress last year - all healthcare providers will soon have to use electronic health records to keep track of patients.
That requirement has led way to the creation of a new industry called Health Information Technology. Through HIT, healthcare providers will be able to keep more accurate, private, and secure information. The effort will further improve quality of care, prevent medical errors, cut paperwork, and reduce costs.
The sheer amount of work it will take to transfer current patient records to an electronic system and keep up with all new electronic records is creating a huge opportunity for a new type of employee - the health information technician.
Employees in these positions, which are extremely competitive, will be responsible for implementing the next generation of healthcare records. The job is perfect for someone who has software and healthcare/medical office experience, as well as strong computer and tech skills.
Health information technicians hired by Monarch HealthCare will be offered free training to become a NextGen HIT certified professional. Employees who complete the training will be certified in front and back office operations as well as lab work.
