Facility questions

Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the only Level I adult trauma center in Monmouth and Ocean counties, an ACS-verified designation, so travel nurses see the region's most serious injuries.

On its Neptune campus sits K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital — New Jersey's only Level I pediatric trauma center and the region's first children's hospital — giving the campus high-acuity pediatric assignments as well.

It's a teaching hospital affiliated with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, with more than 1,200 physicians across 60 specialties and a Neuroscience Institute site, so travelers work in an academic, subspecialized setting.
