Hennepin County Medical Center is searching for a critical care skilled nurse who is looking for a new adventure in Hyperbaric Medicine.  Although this is not a requirement, your scuba diving experience can blend and enhance your nursing practice.

We manage about 5 DCS patients per year but we treat more than decompression illness!  We treat the following emergency diagnoses: air embolism, carbon monoxide, gas gangrene, necrotizing soft tissue infections, and acute traumatic ischemias and more.  We also run a clinic Monday-Friday, treating wound healing patients such as delayed radiation injury, and non healing diabetic lower extremity ulcers.

HCMC currently is the only hyperbaric chamber facility in MN. We have been in operation for patient care and research since 1964 and have a busy service with plans underway in building a new facility and a four plex chamber.

Competitive metro salary, plus on call pay.  Usual hours are clinic Monday-Friday with rotation for call of after hours and weekends.  Flexible staffing.
