Registered Nurse - AMB Float; FTE, day shift

The ambulatory float pool provides coverage and support for the Ambulatory Specialty departments within Seattle Children’s Hospital across multiple sites of care to ensure adequate staffing to meet the needs of our patients and families. Float nurses partner with interdisciplinary care teams consisting of, but not limited to, MDs, PAs, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, social workers, nutritionists, and specialty-based technicians in each department.

Our nursing team supports both direct patient care and back office or between clinic management.
