Float Pool RN

The Role

You'll work across multiple patient care units at a 532 bed academic medical center and teaching hospital. This isn't a one floor gig. You'll float to medical surgical, telemetry, intermediate care, and even help board patients in the emergency department. The idea is straightforward: bring your skills where they're needed most, shift by shift. It's autonomous work, but you'll collaborate with physician partners and interdisciplinary teams every day. This is a Magnet designated hospital, so the standards are high and the support for nurses is real.

What You'll Actually Do

• Provide skilled, compassionate care to patients and families across a spectrum of needs, from routine to highly complex.
• Assess evolving patient conditions and identify both actual and potential health concerns.
• Develop appropriate care plans and either deliver interventions directly or coordinate them with other nursing team members.
• Adapt quickly to different clinical settings and patient populations within the hospital.
• Actively participate in the plan of care for acute and vulnerable patients throughout the facility.

What You Need

• An ADN, BSN, MSN, or CNL from an accredited School of Nursing is required. A BSN is preferred.
• At least two full years of recent acute care, hospital based clinical nursing (RN) experience is required.
• Intermediate Care/Stepdown ICU or Critical Care/ICU experience is preferred.
• Academic Medical Center experience is preferred.
• An active DC RN License is required.
• Basic Life Support for Healthcare providers (AHA or American Red Cross) is required.

Compensation & Benefits

• This position has a hiring range of USD $41.78 to USD $63.66 per hour.
• Nationally recognized nurse wellbeing resources.
• Systemwide referral bonus program: up to $6,000 for each RN and up to $4,000 for each LPN that joins MedStar Health.
• Relocation assistance up to $5,000.
• Free parking for associates.

How to Apply

Send your resume and a brief note about your recent acute care experience. In your cover letter or email, mention your specific years of experience in ICU, stepdown, or medical surgical settings. Please include your DC RN License number and BLS certification details. We'll review applications and reach out to qualified candidates within two weeks.
