Registered Nurse New Graduate Surgical Transplant

Intermountain Medical Center is seeking Registered Nurse New Graduates for the Surgical Transplant department. This position is designed for nurses 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.
