Job Description:

Join a dedicated pediatric step-down unit caring for children aged 2 months to 18 years with chronic complex conditions. As a registered nurse on this 13-week contract, you'll work 8-hour evening shifts, from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, with the flexibility to consider 12-hour shifts, such as 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, based on staffing needs. Every other weekend commitment ensures a balanced schedule. This unit manages stable children with trachs, vents, and G-tubes, where respiratory therapists handle ventilator management but nurses assist with suctioning. Prior experience with respiratory or vented patients is strongly preferred. Your expertise will be crucial in supporting children with congenital or genetic conditions, primarily focusing on IVs, G-tubes, NG tubes, and other routine procedures. This role offers a vibrant opportunity to work in a nurturing environment that is less intensive than an ICU but still demands clinical competence and compassion.
