Staff Nurse Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit (HBO)

Nebraska Medicine is seeking a talented individual to join us as a Nurse in our Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit! This position will be based at our main campus in Omaha, NE.

Position Highlights:

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) offers a unique opportunity to be part of the only level 1 HBO facility in the area, which provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to patients of all ages with a wide variety of medical conditions and levels of acuity. Be part of a very small, highly specialized team of nurses where focused bedside care includes patient assessments, medication administration, education, collaborate/case management, wound care, and safe administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Patient to nurse ratio is never greater than 2:1, and as HBOT requires multiple treatments, you will have the opportunity to get to know your patients and be able to see their clinical outcomes.
