The Opportunity
Our team of nurses works with a population of students from around the United States and the world, as well as the staff members that live and work on campus. Nurses communicate with caregivers of students regarding their student’s wellbeing, consult with local pediatricians, and distribute daily medications to students.
Most registered nurse candidates should expect to work shifts totaling 30-45 hours per week, which may include some weekends and occasional overnights.
