Why Experienced RGNs Choose Emerald Nursing
Premium hourly rates – industry-leading day, night, weekend and bank holiday tiers – above framework wherever we can negotiate it.
A diary built around your life – regular shifts at sites you’ll want to return to. Genuine variety when you want it; consistency when you don’t.
Leading client portfolio – private acutes (cardiac, oncology, orthopaedic specialists), HSE teaching hospitals, national specialist centres, leading care groups.
Weekly Friday pay – holiday pay and full clinical indemnity included as standard.
Total flexibility – no exclusivity, no minimum hours, no tied contracts. Three nights a week or full-time – your call.
Senior consultant matching – your coordinator picks placements briefed on your strengths, not the next gap on the board.
Named Kilkenny coordinator – a senior consultant who knows the wards, the matrons and your skill set. Not a call-centre.
Fast onboarding – compliance handled in days, not weeks. We’ve done this thousands of times.
