Description

Work where every moment matters.

Every day, over 30,000, Hartford Healthcare colleagues come to work with one thing in common: Pride in what we do, knowing every moment matters here. We invite you to become part of Connecticut's most comprehensive healthcare network as an Emergency Department RN.

The Emergency Department at Hartford Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital, is seeking both new graduate and experienced nurses. To foster the growth of each new RN to the department, a unique mentorship program has been developed to support the transition into our department during each RN's first year here. Our mentorship program includes experienced nurses who offer their time to all of our newest team members. Through the mentorship program, we've successfully created professional colleague relationships that contribute to each RN's individual success within our department.
In addition to being one of the busiest Emergency Departments in Connecticut, HHED is also an accredited Level 1 Trauma Center, chest pain center and comprehensive stroke center, treating patients of the highest acuity in the region. Comprised of 109 beds, with the addition of a new 19 bed ED Observation Unit, HHED treats an average of 109,000 patients annually.
