Registered Nurse (RN)

$50 - $62 / hour

Earn up to $62 per hour as a Registered Nurse (RN) in Lowell, MA (and nearby areas) while also getting to choose when, where, and how often you work. That's right, at IntelyCare you get to set your own schedule, with your choice of shifts at any of the partner facilities in our growing network. But there's more. You also get to join our team as a W2 employee which means that you — and your loved ones — can have the stability, benefits and support that a contract gig can't offer.

IntelyCare was founded by nurses who wanted a company that finally cared about their priorities. They were guided by a simple concept — nurse professionals should be able to have their career without sacrificing their personal lives and relationships. They set about building a company with nurse work-life balance at its core with layers of support around it. They built an all-in-one app where you can customize your schedule around your life.

What would your life look like if you could take any day, week, or even month off of your choosing? You could catch all of the Spinners home games at Edward A. LeLacheur Park, free up time to take classes at UMass Lowell, or finally schedule that weeklong getaway to Long Pond.
