About The Position
The Registered Nurse will work in an Emergency Department surge/overflow unit in Worcester, Massachusetts, providing care to patients who overflow into the ED. The nurse will be stationed in the ED and float to different areas within the department as needed to support surge and overflow patient care. This is an onsite, three-month contract scheduled for four 12-hour shifts per week, with an evening shift beginning at 3:00 PM.
