Nurse Aide I, Surgery & Trauma, Cary Hospital

The Nurse Aide I supports and incorporates WakeMed's Patient & Family Centered Care (PFCC) model by delivering patient care under the direction of the Registered Nurse.

The four key concepts of PFCC are: Dignity and Respect = Listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices; Information Sharing = Communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful; Participation = Patients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose; Collaboration = Patients and families and the Nurse Aide I collaborate in the delivery of care.

The Nurse Aide I understands the needs of the organization and supports the mission, vision, values, and aspirational goals.

At WakeMed Health & Hospitals, we believe in delivering care with purpose, compassion, and excellence—the WakeWay.
