Nurse - Step Down Unit - Nights
About The Position
The Registered Nurse in the Modified Care Unit provides inpatient nursing care to an identified group of patients, primarily adults.

The schedule consists of 12-hour night shifts from 19:00 to 07:30, with holiday rotation and every third weekend. The position is listed at 0.9 FTE and offers a bonus of up to $15,000.
