The Caprock Difference:
We offer our nurses a flexible schedule, autonomy, very reasonable caseload, a nice company vehicle, and the latest technology (we're talking Apple iPad's here). At Caprock, we believe you can truly enjoy your job as a nurse and offer an environment where you can live out your nursing dreams, while still maintaining a work-life balance. We work hard, but we acknowledge that work isn't life, and our goal is that you'll go home at the end of the day, NOT to chart for 4 more hours (sound familiar?), but to enjoy your family and hobbies.
