Registered Nurse (RN) - Wound Care

The RN Wound Care Nurse provides routine wound care evaluation, management, and treatments in accordance with accepted protocols and clinical standards. This role primarily serves patients on an outpatient basis, from infants to geriatric patients, at the new Riverside Smithfield Hospital opening in early 2026.

Day-to-day responsibilities include preparing patients for wound care procedures, maintaining complete and accurate patient records, and performing wound healing treatments as ordered. The nurse also reinforces patient education on wound healing procedures and may perform hyperbaric treatments if trained.

This position works under the direct supervision of the Program Manager or Clinical Coordinator, requiring sound independent judgment in an emotionally charged environment with potential life-and-death ramifications. The role demands high levels of concentration and professional interaction with patients, family members, and clinical personnel.

Joining Riverside Smithfield Hospital offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in Isle of Wight County. The 200,000-square-foot, three-story facility features an Emergency Department, Diagnostic Imaging, 38 Medical/Surgical beds, 12 ICU beds, and 4 Operating Rooms, providing a state-of-the-art environment for delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
