Full job description

Seasonal ED RNs are Scripps Health employees, not travelers, but are hired into a temporary/limited-tenure position.

  • Seasonal hires are assigned full-time hours, consisting of three 12-hour shifts per week.
  • The initial contract term is 13 weeks.
  • Contracts may be extended by 4, 8, or 13 weeks, based on organizational needs and the RN’s availability.
  • Seasonal assignments may not exceed 26 total weeks.

Once a Seasonal RN has completed 26 total weeks, they must leave the organization for at least 6 months before returning to another seasonal role. At that time, they may also choose to apply to open positions & move into a core or SSRS permanent position, if available.

*Unit and Shift Assignment-*Shift and location assignments are determined based on unit request. Seasonal RNs may be contracted directly to a specific unit (work entire contract at one location & shift) or assigned to the SSRS ED RN float pool (work a variety of Scripps Eds/UC), depending on operational need. Staff do not choose their assigned location or shift. All of these departments operate on 12-hour shifts.

Seasonal RNs may be assigned to any of the following locations:

  • Encinitas ED
  • Green Hospital (Torrey Pines) 24-Hour Urgent Care
  • La Jolla ED
  • Chula Vista ED
  • San Diego ED
  • Rancho Bernardo Urgent Care /(day shift only)/
  • Jefferson (Oceanside) Scripps Urgent Care/(day shift only)/

Typical Assignment Pattern

Typically, Seasonal ED RNs are assigned to one location and one shift for their initial 13-week contract. If the RN is available for an extension, the first consideration is whether there is a continued need at the same location. If not, extension opportunities may be offered at another Scripps ED or Urgent Care site.

Compensation

  • Base pay: Flat hourly rate of $68.03/hour
  • Benefits: Available beginning on day 60, if elected
  • Night shift differential: $7.24/hour for hours worked between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM

*Extension / Completion Bonuses-*Seasonal RNs are also eligible for contract completion bonuses as follows:

  • 4-week extension: $2,700
  • 8-week extension: $5,500
  • 13-week extension: $9,000

Bonus Eligibility

Completion bonuses are paid upon successful completion of the limited-tenure agreement. To qualify, the RN must:

  • Complete 408 hours, and
  • Have no formal corrective actions on file
