RN Transition Fellowship ICU

RN Transitional Fellowship - ICU

Dignity Health Glendale Memorial

Our transitional fellowship programs have been created to assist in the professional development of nurses who have more than 12 months of Telemetry, PACU or ED experience, yet have not worked in acute care, have had a break from acute care or are seeking to change specialties in nursing.   

Positions are limited and early application is encouraged. Application period is open June 16, 2025 12:00 AM through June 23, 2025 at 11:59 PM or until we reach max applicants (ONLY).  Applications must be received by the deadline, no exceptions.

As a ICU Nurse at Glendale Memorial Medical Center, you’ll monitor patients who are critically ill and unstable following extensive injury, surgery, or life-threatening disease. 

You’ll begin each shift by taking report from a nursing teammate before making your rounds. You’ll provide continued care and perform procedures as detailed in the care plan. This could mean assisting a physician with a chest tube or central line, providing wound care, ensuring patients MRI or CT, or administering medications. 

To thrive in this role, you’ll heavily depend on your ability to multitask and react. You’ll clinically care for your patients- remaining focused and attentive as you continuously monitor your patients throughout your shift. You also serve as their advocate- supporting their best interests when they cannot. However, your sound judgment during an emergency and rapid response are impressive, putting you on the radar for advancement.

While you’re busy impacting the healthcare industry, we’ll take care of you with benefits that include health/dental/vision, FSA, matching retirement plans, paid vacation, adoption assistance, and more.
