Registered Nurse - Critical Care ICU

ICU RN Opportunity At Methodist Hospital

At Nebraska Methodist Health System, we focus on providing exceptional care to the communities we serve and people we employ. We call it The Meaning of Care – a culture that has and will continue to set us apart. It's helping families grow by making each delivery special, conveying a difficult diagnosis with a compassionate touch, going above and beyond for a patient's needs, or giving a high five when a patient beats a disease or conquers a personal health challenge.

We offer competitive pay, excellent benefits and a great work environment where all employees are valued! Most importantly, our employees are part of a team that makes a real difference in the communities we live and work in.

Job Summary:

At Methodist Hospital, in Omaha, NE, our ICU nurses are more than caregivers—they are leaders, critical thinkers, and compassionate professionals who bring The Meaning of Care to life every day. We are looking for ICU RNs with at least one year ICU experience to join our fast-paced, 20-bed Intensive Care Unit on night shift. This is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to grow in an environment that values teamwork, leadership, and innovation while providing exceptional patient care.

Our 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio ensures you have the time to make a real impact, while our self-scheduling model with every third weekend offers flexibility and work-life balance.
