About the role

Indiana University Health is looking for passionate, experienced nurses to join our 18-bed multi-specialty med-surg unit at Ball Memorial in Muncie, Indiana. The unit specializes in heart failure patients and cardiac diagnoses, delivering high-quality, compassionate care through a partnership approach. Nurses on this team possess clinical expertise, a spirit of inquiry, and a commitment to professional growth and collaboration.

This unit is ideal for building a strong nursing foundation and critical thinking skills while caring for a variety of patients, including those with cardiac diagnoses, step-down patients, respiratory failure, sepsis, DKA, and other conditions.

The unit culture emphasizes teamwork, with a "no one gets left behind" philosophy. Nurses benefit from the mentorship of compassionate, experienced RNs (some with up to 30 years of experience), a Unit-Based Council, and growth and development opportunities. New graduate RNs receive a 6-week orientation.

Requirements

• Associate of Nursing (ASN) required; Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) preferred
• Graduation from a nationally accredited nursing program (exceptions considered for candidates with more than two years of acute care experience, subject to CNO approval)
• Current Indiana state license as a Registered Nurse
