Triage RN, North Shore Float Pool
About The Position
The Triage RN provides clinical telephone triage and support to patients and practices across the North Shore region. The nurse assesses patient concerns, determines the appropriate level of care, provides clinical guidance within established protocols, and coordinates with practice teams as needed. The position supports outpatient care through compassionate patient care, assistance with procedures, and collaboration in a dynamic ambulatory setting. The Float Pool covers practice staffing needs caused by unexpected absences, long-term leaves, planned vacations, and vacancies. The Triage RN works autonomously within their education and certification while collaborating with the broader care team. Some on-site coverage may be needed depending on practice needs, and on-site responsibilities may include nurse visits. The role is primarily hybrid, with substantial work-from-home opportunities. This is a per diem role supporting North Shore practices Monday through Friday. Flexible full- or partial-shift coverage is available between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.; the greatest coverage needs are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and partial afternoon shifts are welcome. Assignments and scheduling needs are communicated on Thursdays. Practice locations include Beverly, Danvers, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Rowley, Salem, Saugus, and Swampscott.
