• Nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3, or 1:4 for low-acuity patients

• EMR: Epic
• 12-hour day/evening shifts, 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
• Every other weekend required
• No floating required

Requirements

• Active WA state or Compact (NLC) RN license required; pending licenses are not accepted

• Two professional references required: one supervisor from within the last 12 months and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years, both including dates of employment and eligibility for rehire

Additional Information

• Travelers may be considered for triage assignments after completing a triage competency test, though triage is generally staffed by department employees

• Orientation consists of two days: one day of compliance/policy/education (8–10 hours) and one day of department orientation (12 hours)
