Join the dynamic team at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBCH), the region's undisputed leader in high-acuity care. We are the only ACS-certified Level 1 Trauma Center and Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center in the area, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a STEMI receiving center. Our commitment to clinical excellence is further demonstrated by our Joint Commission Sepsis Care Certification and our system-wide Silver-Level Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA).

As the central hub for Cottage Health, our ED is the designated receiving center for adult and pediatric emergencies. We've built specialized programs to support this critical work, including a revolutionary Vertical Care treatment area to enhance patient flow and a dedicated ED psych holding unit staffed by specially trained ED Psych RNs.

Our department is built on a foundation of excellence and teamwork, which is reflected in our 4-star CMS rating for Patient Satisfaction and recognition as a global leader in patient satisfaction by Newsweek. You will work alongside some of the strongest Charge Nurses in the field, supported by a 24/7 Mobile Intensive Care Nurse (MICN). As a teaching hospital, we thrive in a positive, collaborative culture, reinforced by our optimized staffing mix of new and experienced nurses on all shifts.

We are committed to your professional growth. This is the ideal environment for any nurse passionate about high-acuity care, offering unique development opportunities such as training to become a Vascular Access Nurse with specialization in Midline and PICC insertions.
