ICU – Registered Nurse – Internship Opportunity

A unique opportunity exists for Registered Nurses with a keen interest to work in the ICU at Mount Sinai Hospital to qualify themselves for current available regular full-time positions.

Successful candidates to this educational opportunity will be required to successfully complete a Critical Care Nursing Certificate course and exam. This course is a 11 week session that involves a combination of in person and web based classroom as well as clinical training. Course tuition and paid time to attend will be provided. You will be compensated at your regular hourly rate for your average weekly earnings. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a mandated credential for all ICU nurses. ACLS must be obtained within 6 months of completion of the critical care course.

The Hospital reserves the right to cancel this opportunity should the minimum number of participants not be reached. Candidates who successfully complete this program are expected to remain an employee in the ICU for at least one year following the date of which they commence their position. An employee who voluntarily leaves employment prior to the completion of one year of continuous service is required to reimburse Mount Sinai Hospital fifty percent (50%) of the total amount on course/exam monies received.
