What Does a Registered Nurse Do?

Assessing patient condition, administering medications and treatments, coordinating with physicians and care teams, documenting in EMR systems, educating patients and families, and responding to emergent changes in patient status.

What We Screen For

Active RN license in the target state, BLS and specialty certifications (ACLS, PALS, etc.) relevant to the unit, and ideally 1+ years of acute care experience. New graduates are considered for structured residency programs.

💡 Hiring Insight

Typical Compensation
$60,000 – $110,000
Specialty units (ICU, OR, L&D) and high cost-of-living markets drive compensation toward the top of this range.
