    • Minimum 3 years of total RN experience is required.
    • Strongly preferred: 2–3 years of dedicated Vascular/CVOR experience.
    • First-Time Travelers: Accepted, provided they possess extensive, verifiable staff experience in high-volume vascular surgery.

  • Weekend Call: 1 full weekend per month (Friday through Sunday rotation).
Unit & Facility Details
  • Address: Rochester, NY 14621.
