At UVA Health, Women's Services nurses do more than support births.

The Women's Services Float Pool RN role is designed for experienced nurses who thrive in complexity, value variety, and want to work across the full continuum of mother and baby care.

• Collaborate closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, lactation consultants, respiratory therapists, and support staff.
• Serve as a trusted clinical resource within Women's Services, supporting best practices and patient centered outcomes.

Every day brings meaningful variety, deep professional collaboration, and the opportunity to impact multiple patient journeys in a single shift.
