Registered Nurse (RN) - Wound Care

We are looking for an RN to join the team at Memorial's Wound Care Clinic, an outpatient clinic located in the basement of Yakima Valley Memorial. At Memorial's Wound Care Clinic traditional practices and medicines for wound healing are combined with state-of-the-art technology, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
