RN – Seasonal Ed RN (Non-Traveler)

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
