Work is typically performed in a clinical environment, and the nurse must comply with organizational policies and job-specific obligations. Department-specific orientation competencies are also essential. The schedule is 0.9 FTE (36 hours per week), straight days, with every other weekend and every other holiday rotation. The job offers a hiring incentive of up to $24,000 for eligible candidates, a minimum hiring rate of $41.50 with increased rates for experienced individuals, shift differentials of up to $7 for evening, night, and weekend shifts, and relocation assistance for eligible candidates.
