If you are seeking an organization where you can engage expertly, develop clinical expertise, embrace learning, cultivate new relationships, and fuel your spirit of inquiry.

IU West Urology is seeking a motivated and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our busy, procedure-focused urology practice. While urology experience is preferred, it is not required.
