Hiring Event Planned to Fill Nursing Positions at County Hospital
RIVERSIDE (CNS) – The Riverside University Health System is seeking to
expand its nursing staff at the Moreno Valley medical campus and will hold
a virtual hiring event later this month, offering a range of benefits to
prospects, according to officials.
The Aug. 24 on-line recruitment event will run from noon to 4 p.m.,
with registrations required at:
https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/riverside/ruhsjobs/jobs/3661689/hiring-
event-registered-nurse-ii-iii-riverside-university-health-system.
According to RUHS, registered nurses at the II and III levels who are
added to the Riverside County payroll can expect annual salaries ranging from
$83,797 to $143,384.
Nurses who work on a per diem basis under contract would be entitled
to hourly rates of $60.83 to $68.93.
RUHS employees receive comprehensive medical and dental coverage, as
well as education credits, retirement benefits, sick leave and vacation time,
which accrues annually, officials said.
The county has contended with a periodic deficit of nurses at county
facilities over the years, and shortages were accentuated during the height of
the coronavirus public health emergency, when traveling nurses were brought in
to fill gaps.
Chris Flojo is a traveling registered nurse at the medical center, and
while the average time for a temporary nurse to remain under contract is 13
weeks, he has elected to stay in place since last fall.
“I keep re-signing my contract,” Flojo said. “The staff is super
helpful, teamwork is great, and management is really supportive. I plan on
staying here long as they’ll have me.”

Nearly a year after wildfires tore through Mountain Center, the scars are still visible along the Palms to Pines Highway. Now, fire crews are working to repair those burn areas and reduce the risk of flooding, erosion and mudslides when heavy rain arrives. The work includes fire-line suppression repairs, water bars and other measures designed to slow rainwater and keep burned soil from washing away. CAL FIRE Riverside County Battalion Chief Ryan Lubin says the steep terrain, dry brush and limited access continue to create challenges for mountain communities. With El Niño conditions expected to bring periods of heavy rain, officials say preparing now could help protect homes and communities from the aftermath of wildfire. The message from firefighters: preparation can save lives.
