About The Position

Hopewell is hiring a Pediatric Registered Nurse to provide nursing care to medically fragile children at its Pediatric Specialty Care facility in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.

Nurses assess patients, identify subtle changes, and act promptly while coordinating care with respiratory therapists, providers, therapists, families, and other members of the care team.

The schedule is three 12-hour day shifts per week, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., plus every third weekend.

The posting lists compensation as $33–$45 per hour in its overview and $33–$50 per hour in the salary heading, based on experience. Free parking is available.
