About The Position

Your job is more than a job. Let’s be real: ER nursing isn’t a job, it’s a calling. Your connection to your ER, your patients, your team, it’s deep and personal. We love that about you. You bring all of you to the Emergency Room every shift, every patient. And then, you take a lot of the ER home with you—the tough moments, the hopes, the tears, the possibilities, the unanswered questions, the thank you’s, the heartaches and, yes, even the smiles and laughter. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this intimate, diverse nursing role. LCMC Health is a community. Our people make health happen. While our NOLA roots run deep, our branches are the vessels that carry our mission of bringing the best possible care to every person and parish in Louisiana and beyond and put a little more heart and soul into healthcare along the way. Celebrating authenticity, originality, equity, inclusion and a little “come on in” attitude is the foundation of LCMC Health’s culture of everyday extraordinary. Touro, at the forefront of medical excellence within LCMC Health’s incredible community of care, has been regionally recognized for 165 years as one of New Orleans' most enduring healthcare monuments. It’s where babies come from and New Orleanians are cared for. Learn more about Touro and our Leapfrog “Grade A” Hospital Safety distinction.
