Part to Full Time Nurse... versatile job
Great Land Infusion Pharmacy, a dynamic, team-oriented, employee and family-oriented pharmacy seeks a quality nurse who wants a versatile job in a stimulating work environment.
Our atmosphere is hard-working and congenial. We have autonomy and yet we all pull together. Our manager encourages professional development and clinical education and occasionally allows us opportunities to attend out of state conferences.

We seek a nurse familiar with the care and access of central lines including the ability to perform aseptic and sterile dressing changes. We are, however, willing to train, provided you have a valid Alaskan RN license or are in the process of obtaining this license.
The ideal candidate brings a high level of professionalism, along with stellar nursing and communication skills. We seek an individual capable of making good judgment calls, multi-tasking and problem-solving.
This can be a part-time job (Wed through Fri) or be expanded to a full time (Wed through Sun) position that will include rotating weekday and weekend on-call time. In addition to salary, we offer a simple IRA, health insurance and paid vacation leave.
