n nGhostRx is recruiting a full-time Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to join the Med-Surg ICU at the Phoenix VA Health Care System's Carl T. Hayden Veterans' Affairs Medical Center, a tertiary care teaching hospital in central Phoenix with a 24-hour Emergency Department, a 24-bed ICU, and inpatient medicine, surgery, and psychiatry services supporting Veterans across Arizona.
