About This Role
This per-diem nursing position involves providing direct patient care in the pre-operative and post-anesthesia care unit at a Denver-area hospital.

You'll work flexible shifts based on unit needs without a set schedule, making this ideal for nurses seeking variable hours or supplemental income.
