Looking for work? Hiring LPN or RN

[EarthwormRN]

Hello, I am a nurse working per diem in a hospital in a small town in washington state.

Many are hired right out of nursing school (I was).

This hospital has a clinic, LTC, Assisted living, Swing beds (basically rehab), acute beds, and ER. Unfortunately, there is no labor and delivery

In this hospital LPNs are able to do IVs with certification (which many hospitals seem do not allow anymore)

It is rural healthcare if that is something that you are intersted in.

For now, we are in desperate need of a nurse on the long term care wing and I can honestly tell you that its the best long term care I have ever worked in. The turnover is low, the CNAs are great, and my boss is very very nice, not the kind who hovers over your every move, but offers constructive critisism when needed. As much as I love it, I prefer not to work full time and my boss really wants me to take this position. I offerred to fill in until we find someone else. So far its been about a month. We don't get a lot of applicants due to the small area, but if you are willing to move, this is a nice small town and a great place to raise a family.

Also note, if you eventually want to work in acute care, many of the LTC nurses move to acute care or another department within a year or two of employment.

Info:

LTC wing has 25 residents and only 1 nurse is on duty per shift, but they are pretty low maintainance.

Evening shift 5 days a week, 8 hour shifts, every other weekend. Pay is really good for a long term care position, I won't say exactly a number but I was pleasantly surprised.

the name of the facility is Columbia Basin Hospital, in Ephrata, WA.

Please apply, you won't be dissappointed.
