RN - Cardiology Clinic, FT

Looking to transition from bedside nursing without leaving cardiology behind? Guthrie is offering up to a $25,000 Sign-On Bonus for an RN to join our Cardiology Clinic team at Robert Packer Hospital, where you'll build lasting patient relationships while supporting high-quality cardiovascular care in an outpatient setting.

Guthrie is seeking a full-time Registered Nurse to join our Cardiology team at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA. This is a strong opportunity for an RN who enjoys cardiac patients, patient education, care coordination, and working closely with providers in a collaborative specialty setting.

This role may be a great fit if you are an experienced RN with a background in cardiology, telemetry, med/surg, ambulatory care, procedural nursing, or another setting where you have supported patients with complex clinical needs. You do not need to have followed one exact career path to be successful here. We are looking for a nurse who brings strong assessment skills, sound clinical judgment, compassion, and the ability to communicate well with patients, families, providers, and the care team.

Perks of the Role

• Up to $25,000 Sign-On Bonus – A strong welcome for experienced RNs
• Relocation assistance available for qualifying candidates
• Full-time opportunity with a respected cardiology team at Robert Packer Hospital
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting the first of the month following date of hire
• PTO accrual beginning on your date of hire
• 403(b) Retirement Plan with company match
• Tuition reimbursement after 90 days
• Opportunity to grow within a specialized cardiovascular service line

Why This Cardiology RN Role May Be Worth a Closer Look?
If you enjoy cardiac care but are looking for a role with more patient connection, specialty focus, and team-based support, this position is worth considering. Guthrie’s Cardiology team supports patients across the continuum of cardiovascular care, including routine follow-up visits, chronic disease management, testing, treatment planning, education, and coordination with other cardiac services.

As an RN in this setting, you will have the opportunity to use your clinical knowledge in a meaningful way while working alongside cardiologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other members of the care team. The work is still clinically important, but it also allows you to build relationships with patients and help guide them through their cardiac care journey.

This position can be especially appealing for RNs who are ready to move into a more specialized area, nurses with cardiac or telemetry experience who want to continue using that knowledge, or experienced RNs who are looking for a new opportunity within a strong and established healthcare system.

What You Will Bring?
We are looking for an RN who is dependable, patient-centered, and comfortable working in a collaborative environment. The ability to assess patient needs, communicate clearly, stay organized, and support care coordination is important in this role.

Experience in cardiology, telemetry, med/surg, ambulatory nursing, procedural areas, or patient education may translate well, but we are also open to reviewing candidates whose background shows strong clinical judgment and a genuine interest in cardiovascular care.
 

Make a Meaningful Impact
In this role, you will help support patients through important moments in their cardiovascular care. If you are looking for an RN opportunity that combines clinical purpose, specialty growth, and a supportive team environment, we would be glad to connect with you.
