The environment encourages ongoing skill refinement in wound care, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and rapid response skills, enabling you to elevate your expertise and emerge as a confident clinical resource within the unit.
- Competitive compensation and bonuses: This assignment offers a competitive weekly pay range of $1,223 to $1,253, recognizing the value you bring to the Med Surg floor.
