This complex, around the clock role embraces your decisiveness, preparation, understanding, and high-level critical thinking. It’s a rare intersection for a rare breed of nurse where your sense of humanity meets your sense of purpose. If that’s you, then you’re going to love it here. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical nursing role.
