100 nurses to come on board for San Francisco hospital expansion

San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, the city's largest safety-net provider, is hiring more than 100 registered nurses for its new $877 million inpatient facility, according to a San Francisco Business Times report.  

The new RNs are needed in a number of specialty areas, including emergency care, medical-surgical, critical care and peri-operative services, officials told the San Francisco Business Times this week. Additionally, the hospital is looking for potential hires who speak Spanish, Cantonese "and other languages that come in handy in dealing with San Francisco's diverse population," according to the report.

The salary range for the positions is $112,788 to $148,174, depending on experience, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

The 283-bed inpatient tower is primarily being funded by an $887.4 million bond issue approved by San Francisco voters as well as a $75 million gift from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan, MD. The facility is expected to open in December.
