Description

**Our McKinney nursing teams serve a very fast-paced, high-volume environment with consistently strong patient census and acuity.

Our PACU Unit: Great team with low turnover and many years of experience. The right candidate would want to grow in their experience if they were a newer nurse (5-7 years of experience) and seek out those with experience to gain greater understanding of practice. Don't let the community hospital setting fool you! Our McKinney nursing teams serve a fast paced, high volume environment with consistently strong patient census and acuity.

Number of beds: 14

Ratio: 1:2
