Why Experienced RGNs Choose Emerald Nursing

Premium hourly rates– industry-leading day, night, weekend and bank holiday tiers – above framework wherever we can negotiate it.

A diary built around your life– regular shifts at sites you’ll want to return to. Genuine variety when you want it; consistency when you don’t.

Leading client portfolio– private acutes (cardiac, oncology, orthopaedic specialists), HSE teaching hospitals, national specialist centres, leading care groups.

Weekly Friday pay– holiday pay and full clinical indemnity included as standard.

Total flexibility– no exclusivity, no minimum hours, no tied contracts. Three nights a week or full-time – your call.

Senior consultant matching– your coordinator picks placements briefed on your strengths, not the next gap on the board.

Named Kilkenny coordinator– a senior consultant who knows the wards, the matrons and your skill set. Not a call-centre.

Fast onboarding– compliance handled in days, not weeks. We’ve done this thousands of times.
