Registered Nurse - Critical Care Float Pool
About The Position
The Nursing Float Pool Program is designed to provide a flexible, highly skilled workforce to support patient care needs across the hospital, help to improve staffing stability, enhance patient throughput, and promoting high-quality patient outcomes. Float Pool Registered Nurses are organizational resources who support staffing needs across multiple clinical areas based on competency, patient acuity, and operational requirements.

Float pool nurses are hospital-wide resources and may float to any competency-validated area within their designed track based on patient census, staffing shortages, acuity, patient throughput needs, organizational priorities, or emergency situations.
