Nurse staffing in Kern County
Over the Grapevine from Los Angeles, Kern County's hospitals and care facilities serve Bakersfield and the southern San Joaquin Valley, out to Tehachapi and Ridgecrest. AMP Staffing Network supplies per diem and contract RNs, LVNs, CNAs and allied professionals to hospitals and facilities, and offers nurses per diem shifts, local placements and travel assignments.
Bakersfield is the county seat and the centre of its healthcare, with acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers and clinics that need coverage for sick calls, census spikes and leaves. Travel assignments and local contracts suit facilities here; nurses who live in the county can also take per diem shifts.
