Job Description:
Join our team for a 17-week contract in Sacramento’s vibrant healthcare scene, working in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). You’ll be responsible for monitoring and caring for patients recovering from surgeries such as total hips, knees, neuro, urology, and general procedures. The role involves 12-hour day shifts, with opportunities to read and interpret EKG strips, making this a perfect fit for acute recovery experienced professionals seeking a rewarding challenge in a well-equipped PACU setting. The assignment offers a chance to thrive in a supportive environment, with orientation in PACU and the possibility of floating between units as needed. This isn’t just any recovery role — it’s a chance to be part of a busy, efficient unit with ICU patients sometimes sharing the space, especially until beds open up.

Expect generally mild and pleasant weather around this time of year, with the occasional warm sunny days ideal for outdoor activities. Sacramento’s climate offers a comfortable balance, making it easy to enjoy a walk or outdoor dining after your shift.
Fun Things To Do:
- Exploring the California State Capitol and its lush surrounding gardens.
- Day trip to Lake Tahoe for scenic views and outdoor adventures.
