RN Transitional Opportunities - Critical Care Unit

Overlake Hospital Medical Center • Bellevue, WA

18h • Onsite

About The Position

Overlake Medical Center & Clinics is hiring registered nurses with more than one year of RN experience who want to transition into Critical Care. The evidence-based transition program combines online learning and instructor-led courses, one-to-one clinical precepting by an experienced RN, and focused sessions with an education specialist to strengthen learning and clinical reasoning in the new practice area. During the program, nurses work a 0.9 FTE schedule (72 hours per biweekly pay period). After the precepted portion, shifts depend on available positions, with a high probability of night shift.

The role is based in Overlake Medical Center’s 31-bed mixed-specialty Critical Care Unit in Bellevue, Washington. The unit cares for patients across open heart and thoracic surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, cardiology, pulmonary, trauma, and general medical-surgical specialties. The CCU has received the AACN Award for Unit Excellence. The next transitional RN cohort begins February 22, 2027.
