Job Description:

Join this 12-week contract as a PCU Registered Nurse in Athens, Georgia, where you'll be making a real difference on a unit that admits adults to geriatrics. Your night shift starts at 7:00 pm and runs until 7:00 am, offering a steady routine of caring for a variety of complex cases including post-op CABG, thoracic and vascular surgeries, respiratory failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and more. This position is perfect for experienced nurses with at least two years of recent hospital experience, but first-timers are encouraged to apply. You’ll be working in a 32-bed unit with a typical census of 21 patients, utilizing systems like Epic, Pyxis, SBAR, and BiPap—so familiarity with these tools will help you hit the ground running. The unit maintains a nurse-to-patient ratio of approximately 1:3-4, and you'll float within the facility as needed, no call required, with every other weekend off. Expect to collaborate with a dedicated team providing high-quality care in a supportive environment that values your expertise.
