Registered Nurse New Graduate NICU

Intermountain Health is seeking Registered Nurse New Graduates for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Riverton Hospital. This position is designed for nursing graduates who have completed an accredited RN education program and are preparing to obtain their RN license through the State Board examination.

As a Nursing Graduate, you will work under the direct line-of-sight supervision of a licensed Registered Nurse in the clinical setting.

This role provides structured clinical experience while you complete the Intermountain Nurse Residency program.

Important Program Requirements

You must be enrolled and have started coursework in the Intermountain Nurse Residency program before providing any direct patient care. This position is available for up to 12 weeks while you are in the residency program and preparing for State Board examination.
