Job Summary

Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital and experience healthcare at its best. This facility is a proud Magnet Hospital awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the highest honor an organization can receive for professional nursing practice. Here, you will provide stellar patient care, work with state-of-the-art technology and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.    

As an RN on the Adult Medical Emergency Team (AMET), you will respond to codes and rapid responses to provide urgent care for patients facing clinical deterioration. Between calls, it is an expectation that the AMET RN is rounding within the hospital, checking in with each unit, performing nursing evaluations alongside other nurses, providing education on documentation and reviewing case codes. This RN may also be asked to cover in the ICU or Emergency Department if trauma arises. Although this is a smaller hospital, this is a very busy area seeing as many rapids and codes as Main Campus, requiring an RN who is quick on their feet, is adaptable and willing to demonstrate empathy and compassion with each interaction.

The AMET role provides broad clinical exposure throughout the hospital, supporting acutely ill patients across medical-surgical, telemetry, cardiac, intensive care, surgical and emergency services. This variety offers nurses a well-rounded opportunity to apply their clinical expertise across multiple care settings. AMET nurses have helped bridge gaps and build strong working relationships with charge nurses, bedside caregivers and leadership teams to support coordinated, high-quality patient care. Here, you will have access to professional development opportunities including cross-training in Critical Care and the Emergency Department, as well as the opportunity to take part in projects and serve on committees.
