• Deliver clear education on disease management (HF zones, anticoagulation safety, rhythm follow-up) and post-discharge care.

• Uphold safety bundles (falls, CLABSI/CAUTI prevention), core measures, and excellent handoffs.

Required

• Active Florida RN (or compact; obtain active FL within 60 days if compact).

• Nursing Diploma/ASN (BSN preferred).
