Job Description:

Join a talented team as a NICU Registered Nurse for a 13-week travel contract at a bustling children's hospital in Tacoma, Washington. This role offers a unique opportunity to work in a Level IV NICU, the second highest designation in the state, where you'll care for premature infants as early as 22 weeks gestation, as well as babies with complex diagnoses such as RDS, NAS, and high-risk deliveries.
