About the role

Travel nurse RN position in Cooperstown, New York at Bassett Medical Center. Shifts are scheduled as 7a–7p or 7p–7a on an 8-week scheduling cycle, including every other weekend and holiday. The team makes efforts to accommodate preferred shifts and will offer block scheduling when possible, based on the staffing needs of the unit, but this is never guaranteed. Clinicians are not expected to routinely switch between day and night shifts without a consistent schedule pattern. However, if staffing needs change, they may be asked if they are willing to temporarily adjust their shift.
