You:

You bring your body, mind, heart, and spirit to your work as an Operating Room Weekend Registered Nurse. You know how to stay organized and move fast. You respond calmly in high pressure situations. You're generous with your thoughts, your partnerships, and especially your passion for patient care. You're great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.
