Registered Nurse

Alright, let's talk about this night shift RN role on the new Medical Observation Unit at Wilmington Hospital in Newark, DE.

It's an 8 bed unit for adult patients who need more evaluation after the ER. Think folks being checked for possible stroke, fainting spells, or chest pain. They're usually with you for a day or so; somewhere between 12 and 32 hours on average; before they either go home or move to an inpatient floor if they need longer care. Things move quickly here; you're admitting, assessing, planning care, and discharging pretty much all in the same shift.

There's also a chance to cross train on 3 West, the hospital's 9 bed cardiac care unit for short stay heart patients. So if you like variety and seeing a wide range of medical conditions, this is it.

The Schedule & Pay

This is a full time night position. Shifts run from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. You'll need to be available for weekends and holidays as the department schedules them.

The hourly pay range is $41.28 to $66.05. Where you land in that range depends on your skills and experience.

What You Need to Bring

• A current Delaware RN license or a Compact RN license.
• A BSN is preferred. If you don't have one yet, you need to be committed to getting it within three years of your start date.
• All candidates must have at least two years of experience working as an RN.
• Experience in an acute care or sub acute care setting is a big plus.
• You must have a current BLS certification.

The Benefits (They're Pretty Good)

• Health insurance: medical, dental, vision, and life coverage.
• Two ways to save for retirement, including a 403(b) plan with contributions from ChristianaCare.
• A generous paid time off bank that rolls over year to year and has cash out options.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Tuition assistance for furthering your education.
• A whole suite of work/life benefits: an annual care.com membership, backup care services for your dependents, retirement planning help, access to a financial mentor, and reimbursements for fitness and wellness.
