Welcome to Centura Health
Our goal in the ICU is to support each patient--in mind, body, and spirit--as we get them medically stable and transferred to a unit where their recovery and rehabilitation can continue. We are looking for a nurse who is called to deliver whole person, compassionate care to the people who need it most. You will work one-on-one with your patient, using your critical thinking and communication skills to advocate on their behalf, communicating their wishes and your recommendations to the care team. Then, with the leadership and support of the doctors and care team, you will coordinate and implement your patient's care plan.
Flourishing Begins Here
Qualified external applicants with at least six months of direct RN experience are eligible for up to a $20,000 sign-on bonus! The bonus will be taxed per IRS regulations.
