Find your purpose as a Registered Nurse in our newly established Transfer Center!

Each year, more than 21,000 patients move into, out of, or within CentraCare facilities. Many of those patients are critically ill, with time sensitive diagnoses or complex needs. CentraCare's Transfer Center gives clinicians a comprehensive resource for managing their patient’s movement and makes certain each patient receives the best possible care throughout the process.

Transfer Center RNs ensure safe and efficient transfers into, within and out of the CentraCare system. To accomplish this, our nurses manage all inbound and outbound communication for the Transfer Center, working with all persons needed to evaluate appropriate placement, including providers and nursing staff. The success of a transfer relies on the good judgement, critical thinking, and communication skills of our team members. With the help of technology and streamlined processes, our nurses can continue to apply the skills they learned at the bedside while transforming them into an opportunity to touch even more lives.
