Overview
Full-Time Days and Nights and Flexi Nights (Multiple Positions) Up to $20,000 Sign-On Bonus for qualified individuals!! Our IMC unit provides care for patients who require a higher level of monitoring and support than a medical-surgical unit, while still allowing nurses to build strong foundational skills in assessment, critical thinking, and time management. Starting your career on an IMC unit offers an excellent transition from nursing school into practice, with exposure to complex patients, close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, and strong mentorship to support your professional growth and confidence.
We have started a brand-new IMC/ICU BRIDGE PROGRAM. The IMC/ICU Bridge Program is an evidence-based initiative designed to equip Intermediate Care (IMC) Registered Nurses (RNs) with the essential knowledge, clinical competencies, and confidence required to manage critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This program addresses the complexities of critical care nursing, facilitating a seamless transition for IMC nurses into the ICU environment.
Once the IMC RN completes 12 to 18 months in the IMC at Sentara Princess Anne, the employee is given priority consideration to transfer to ICU if the employee meets the requirements. The Registered Nurse will play a critical role in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to a diverse patient population. Your responsibilities will encompass all aspects of patient care, including conducting thorough assessments, designing and implementing personalized care plans, administering medications and treatments, and evaluating patient responses to interventions.
You will work closely with an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care and ensure continuity throughout the treatment process. For many of our Registered Nurse roles, we welcome new graduate applicants. We're excited to share our starting pay rate for new graduate registered nurses with less than 1 year of experience is $36.00/hour.
