About The Position
The Registered Nurse (RN) works in the 34-bed Surgical/Trauma Intensive Care Unit, caring for adult patients requiring complex surgical and trauma care. The unit specializes in trauma, transplant, acute care, and oncologic surgery, and serves as the region’s only adult Level I trauma center. Patients include solid-organ transplant recipients and complex oncologic, hepatobiliary, and general surgery cases referred from across the country.
