What this means for you

This role comes through Healthforce, a staffing partner — assignment-style terms, so ask exactly which facility you'd land in. It's a night shift — quieter halls, a tighter crew, and your daylight hours back. Twelve-hour shifts compress the week — three days on, four days yours.

Living in Newport, VT

Newport sits on the southern shore of Lake Memphremagog, just miles from the Canadian border in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. RNs who relocate here find a quiet, outdoorsy community shaped by four distinct seasons, small-town rhythms, and ready access to hiking, fishing, and skiing—a fit for nurses seeking a slower pace and close connection to nature.
