Job description
Join us for an engaging 12-week contract as a Medical Surgical Registered Nurse in the heart of St. Louis. This role offers an opportunity to work night shifts (7:00 PM - 7:30 AM) on a 4x12 schedule, perfect for those who prefer a consistent overnight routine.

Expect to interpret dysrhythmias, pass a Relias EKG exam, and use your skills in managing complex medical patients while floating within scope as needed. This assignment is perfect for nurses with at least two years of experience seeking a focused, fast-paced setting that challenges and rewards your clinical skills.
