About This Role
This Clinical Nurse II position in the ICU/CCU operates on the night shift at a 0.9 full-time equivalent, meaning you'll work roughly 32-36 hours per week. You'll provide direct patient care in an intensive care setting, managing acutely ill patients and collaborating with physicians, respiratory therapists, and other clinical staff. The role suits experienced nurses comfortable with fast-paced environments, critical thinking under pressure, and staying current with complex medical equipment and protocols. Night shift work appeals to those who prefer evening-to-morning hours and want stable, predictable scheduling rather than rotating shifts. El Camino Health values nurses who demonstrate clinical competence, communication skills, and a commitment to evidence-based care practices.
