Find your calling at Mercy!

In a critical access hospital, leadership isn’t behind a desk — it’s in the halls, at the bedside, and in the moments that matter most. We’re hiring a unique RN who loves variety and thrives in responsibility: part House Supervisor (hospital-wide leader on shift) and part Float Pool RN (expert clinician who steps in where care needs you most).

If you’re the nurse people naturally turn to — calm in uncertainty, confident in decision-making, and committed to the mission — this role was built for you.

• Serve as the on-site clinical and administrative leader for the facility during evenings/nights/weekends/holidays, ensuring safe, smooth operations across departments.
• Coordinate staffing, patient flow, and throughput decisions in real time.
• Lead response and coordination during urgent events (codes, rapid response, incidents) and elevate to leaders as needed.
• Act as a hospital-wide resource, mentor, and problem-solver, supporting teams with clinical judgment and service recovery.

When you’re the Float Pool RN, you…

• Deliver high-quality nursing care through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation for assigned patients/units.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary partners and adjust quickly to different patient populations and unit workflows.
• Bring strong critical thinking and a steady presence to support safe patient care wherever you’re scheduled.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: Graduate from a school of nursing.
• Experience: Three years of hospital nursing experience.
• Licensure: Current RN (Registered Nurse) License in the applicable state of practice.
• Certifications: BLS and ACLS before beginning first shift.
