What Will You Do?

As an Admissions Registered Nurse at Pine Rest, you’ll be part of tight-knit team that believes in the healing power of your expertise and compassion.  The Admission RN is a flexible critical thinker who works to improve outcomes for patients and fellow nurses. An Admission Nurse’s primary role is to complete patient assessments on new admissions across Pine Rest’s eight inpatient units.
