RN Transitional Opportunities - Critical Care Unit
About The Position
Overlake Medical Center & Clinics is hiring registered nurses with more than one year of RN experience to transition into its 31-bed mixed-specialty Critical Care Unit in Bellevue, Washington. The transition program uses best practices and evidence-based education to prepare nurses for critical care practice. It includes online learning, 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. During the program, nurses work a 0.9 FTE schedule, or 72 hours per biweekly pay period. After the precepted portion is complete, the shift will depend on available positions; night shift is highly probable. The next cohort starts February 22, 2027. The unit cares for patients across open-heart and thoracic surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, cardiology, pulmonary, trauma, and general medical-surgical specialties. It has been recognized by AACN with the Award for Unit Excellence. Applicants must submit a resume and a cover letter explaining their interest in the area.
