Charge Labor Nurse

*Overview*
As a Charge Nurse at CHI Health's CUMC-Bergan Mercy Hospital, you'll oversee a department of frontline nurses caring for patients. Your previous experience in acute care, LTC, or nursing homes adds tremendous value to our nursing team.

Every interaction is an opportunity to improve your understanding of a patient's needs, the needs of your nursing team, or the needs of your unit.
