Job description
Join us as a Labor and Delivery Charge Nurse in Anchorage, where you'll take the lead on critical shifts in a busy antepartum and high-risk OB unit.

The role combines leadership with hands-on nursing, giving you a chance to bring your charge nurse expertise to a dynamic environment that values professionalism and teamwork. A playful note: you might find yourself the champion of both high-stakes deliveries and smooth unit operations alike.
