This position requires a current Registered Nurse license for the state of practice in Colorado, completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from an accredited institution, and the maintenance of Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. The hourly pay range is competitive, starting at $37.45 up to $57.29 depending on experience, reflecting the organization's commitment to recognizing the expertise and dedication of its nursing staff.

Joining Good Samaritan Hospital as an RN means integrating into a cohesive healthcare community that prioritizes patient-centered care and professional excellence.
