Job description
Join us as an ER Registered Nurse on a 13-week travel contract in Worcester, MA. This role offers a chance to work night shifts (12 hours, 11:00 PM start) in a fast-paced emergency department where you'll be responsible for delivering critical care in a high-energy setting. You'll need to demonstrate proficiency in reading telemetry and have at least 1.5 years of ER experience. The contract includes a rare opportunity to work with EPIC electronic health records, and compliance requires passing two exams at orientation—medication and telemetry—which allows only one attempt each.

Expect to earn approximately $3,037.60 gross per week, working 48 hours each week, with the possibility of flexing your start time slightly to meet department needs. This is a chance to make a difference while experiencing the vibrant healthcare environment of Worcester.
