Job Summary

The University of Utah College of Nursing is seeking a compassionate and skilled Clinical Registered Nurse to join our team to serve at the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake (UICSL) and potentially other locations along the Wasatch Front. This role serves American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities through a model that integrates traditional Indigenous healing with Western medicine. Additional opportunities may include clinical work at the RedMed Employee Health Clinic, Summit County Health Department, and Juvenile Justice clinics. Join us in making a meaningful impact in diverse, underserved communities!

As a Clinical Registered Nurse at UICSL, you will support the holistic health of our community by assessing patients, administering screenings, providing chronic disease education and management, and collaborating with physicians, nurse practitioners, and behavioral health providers to ensure continuity of care. You will play a key role in delivering women's health services, and ongoing support for patients managing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma.

Beyond clinical responsibilities, this position offers the unique reward of serving in a space where cultural traditions, community values, and modern medicine intersect. UICSL embraces a model of care that honors Native heritage while addressing current health challenges. By working here, you will not only practice nursing, but also stand as an advocate for health equity, dignity, and access for underserved populations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse who values deep connection with their patients, is inspired by a mission-driven workplace, and finds fulfillment in helping to strengthen the wellbeing of individuals, families, and the larger community.
