More about Community Medical Center

A four-phase expansion is underway; the township has approved a six-story, 444,000-square-foot addition as phase two, so the buildings around you are still changing. If you are new to practice, the system runs a New Graduate RN Residency with ANCC PTAP Distinction. You get an assigned RN preceptor, plus mentorship and group meetings across the full year. On units such as Surgical ICU, the day-to-day includes assessments, interdisciplinary rounds, and EMR documentation, with a clinical ladder available when you want the next step. Pay detail is thin in public sources. One third-party post has listed ER nights near $62/hr for NJ, and local reviews tend to rate compensation and benefits more kindly than other categories—though that night rate may be crisis or premium pay, not a standard base. Work/life balance scores lower in system reviews, and among roughly thirty Toms River reviews only about half would recommend, with an overall rating around 3.1. That mix is worth weighing before you apply.
