Critical Access Medical Surgical unit that cares for a broad spectrum of patients, for example: patients on telemetry, cardiac drips, post-surgical, respiratory conditions, Pediatrics, Skilled services to name a few.

If the RN has strong skills I would not be opposed to interviewing them. Scrubs: any color as long as professional HAVE SOME HOUSING LEADS.
