About the employer
The work is concrete: sick call, med pass, intake screenings, immunizations, ECGs, vitals, chronic care, and emergencies under Medical Director protocols—nurses compare it to ER or clinic pace inside a detention setting. Shifts are posted in clear blocks—evenings 2:00–10:30 pm…

- Can you walk me through base pay range?
- What should I expect for weekly hours, holiday, call, and rotation?
