Stepdown RN in Spokane, Washington

This step down Registered Nurse (RN) role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a 629-bed short-term acute care facility, a Level II Trauma Center, and a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center located in Spokane, Washington. The contract is for 13 weeks, with night shifts running from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, giving you the chance to experience a different rhythm of hospital life. As a traveler in this position, you'll float between units, primarily managing cardiac drips, titrating medications, and handling patient care that requires critical thinking and responsiveness.

Expect a 1:4 to 1:5 staff-to-patient ratio, with every other weekend on call and no block schedules required.
