Job Summary:

We are looking for a New Graduate RN to join our critical access hospital team in the Acute/Med Surge Department. By joining our team you will have the ability to grow and expand upon the skills that you have learned during nursing school.

This will help enhance the new graduate's integration into professional practice while creating connections with colleagues.
