Job description
Join a dedicated Med/Surg unit in Atlanta, where you'll care for a diverse mix of patients in a 30-bed setting. This role involves working 12-hour day shifts for 16 weeks, providing an immersive experience in a Level 1 trauma or mid-large hospital environment. While this is a teaching hospital, travel nurses won't be involved in educating; instead, you'll focus on delivering compassionate patient care to Med/Surg patients with a ratio of 5-6 patients per nurse. This assignment is perfect for experienced RNs with at least two years of hospital experience, BLS certification is required, and ACLS is preferred. You'll be part of a fast-paced team that values a positive attitude and punctuality, giving you a rewarding opportunity to expand your skills in a vibrant healthcare setting.
