Are you the type of nurse who keeps calm in chaos, thrives in high-stakes situations, and can expertly juggle meds, machines, and messy handwriting? Our Surgical ICU is calling, and it wants you – the RN who brings heart, hustle, and just the right amount of sarcasm to the bedside.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Providing direct patient care like a pro – from the stable to the critical.
• Administering IV/oral meds (and explaining them like a human, not a textbook).
• Assisting with procedures, running toward emergencies (not away), and handling them like a boss.
• Educating patients and families, even when Google already told them something wild.
• Supporting discharge planning with kindness and efficiency.
• Serving as charge nurse or preceptor when duty calls – because you're that good.
• Keeping the unit safe, clean, and compliant – your eye for detail saves lives.
• Graduate of an accredited nursing program (you've got the paperwork and the knowledge).
• RN licensed in New Mexico or a compact state (we’ll check).
• Current on BLS/CPR or willing to get certified within 30 days (because safety first).
• Able to lift heavy things (patients, machines, spirits – up to 100 lbs).
• Cool with PPE, biohazards, and the unexpected.
• Have your BSN (you fancy).
• Hold a specialty certification in critical care (you're extra fancy).
• Speak Spanish and English (bilingual = big win).
• Can keep your cool when someone says, “Is this going to hurt?”

Why You’ll Love It Here

• High-acuity cases that keep you sharp – no boring shifts here.
• Teamwork that feels more like family (the good kind).
• Leadership that listens.
• Patients who really need you – and thank you for it.

Ready to bring your skills, compassion, and critical thinking to the front lines of surgical care? Apply now and let’s save some lives (and maybe laugh a little while doing it).
