Job description
Join a busy emergency department team in Worcester, MA, as an ER Registered Nurse on a 13-week contract. You'll work 12-hour night shifts, starting at 7:00 PM with rare flexibility, providing critical care in a fast-paced environment. This role demands at least 1.5 years of ER experience and proficiency in reading telemetry. EPIC EMR experience is preferred. The position includes comprehensive license requirements, and travelers must be aware of two pass/fail exams during orientation — a medication exam and a telemetry exam — both of which allow only one attempt before the contract is canceled. Expect to collaborate closely with staff to deliver high-quality patient care while navigating the challenges of a high-volume ER setting. Experience a rewarding opportunity where your skills make a direct impact during each shift.
