RN - Registered Nurse - Convenient Care Plus

Job Summary

Geisinger ConvenientCare+ is a new type of advanced outpatient clinic. The "plus" means that our facility has additional resources and staffing, allowing patients to be seen by a physician who has access to intravenous therapies as well as laboratory and imaging services that were previously only available in a hospital.
