RN Residency, Adult Emergency Department (Spring/Summer Cohort)

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist is seeking full-time New Grad RNs for our Emergency Department Academy and Nurse Residency at High Point Medical Center, located in High Point, North Carolina.

Position Highlights 

• Unit: Our Emergency Department provides comprehensive care for all ages, including stroke and heart services. The facility features 34 acute beds, 6 Super Track beds, and 4 Behavioral Health beds.
