With nurses seemingly working around the clock, there is a call to action for RNs and LPNs that have retired, let their license expire, or simply have not taken the test to become nurses. Right now, there is an urgent need.
If you ask any nurse or health care professional, they will tell you, their job has become exhausting. While many love their job, relief is desperately needed. Metro Tech is stepping in to meet that need.
