Where you will be working:
Work location: Texas Health Fort Worth; 1301 Pennsylvania Ave, Fort Worth, Texas 76104
Work environment: WISH Team (Women and Infant Float Team) - An amazing opportunity for a highly driven new nurse who is interested in multiple Women's and Infant's specialties. This position will float between L&D, NICU, Mother/Baby, and Women's Health (Antepartum)
Work hours: Full-time, (3)-12-hour shifts; rotating weekends, holidays, and on-call shifts required.
The WISH Team is the Float Pool for the Women and Infant's division. WISH RNs float between NICU, Labor and Delivery, Antepartum, and Mother/Baby, and learn a limited set of skills that allows them to function and provide care to patients on each of these units.
