Occupational Health Registered Nurse (RN)

Be the first to recognize when care cannot wait

Alert Rescue is hiring experienced RNs for its 24/7 on-site Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine Clinic based Castle Rock, CO. Working alongside the on-duty Nurse Practitioner, you will provide triage, treatment on NP orders, point-of-care testing, wound care and occupational health testing for site workers only.

Often the first clinician a worker sees, you will bring careful assessment and prompt escalation to a hands-on nursing role. The clinic operates from a trailer at an active construction site, supported by contracted, non-transport on-site EMS response. You will report to the Director of Nursing, with clinical oversight from the Clinic Medical Director and orders from the on-duty NP.
