• 3-year employment contract with the placement facility.
• Direct patient care on your assigned clinical unit.
• Standard US nursing shifts and patient loads for the unit type.
• Facility, city, and unit are matched to your clinical background during the interview process.

• ICU / Critical Care

• Willingness to obtain a US state RN license and pass the NCLEX-RN.
• English proficiency sufficient for clinical practice.
• Commitment to a 3-year employment contract at the placement facility.

Compensation
