L&D RN in Blanding, Utah

This travel contract offers a unique opportunity to work as an L&D RN in the charming town of Blanding, Utah. You’ll be supporting a busy birthing unit with an average of 120-130 births annually, while also floating to MedSurg when needed. The role involves caring for mothers during labor and delivery, managing postpartum recovery, and ensuring safe and smooth transitions for new families.
