ICU Registered Nurse Jobs in Delaware: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a icu registered nurse in Delaware?

To work as an icu registered nurse in Delaware, you must hold an active RN license issued or recognized by the Delaware Board of Nursing, which oversees licensure through endorsement or the NCLEX-RN examination. Delaware participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so compact license holders from eligible states may work without obtaining a separate Delaware license. Most ICU positions require an associate or bachelor's degree in nursing, with a BSN increasingly preferred by major health systems in the state.

How much do ICU registered nurses make in Delaware?

ICU registered nurses in Delaware earn a median of about $99,520 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,340 for the lowest 10% to over $123,860 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire icu registered nurses in Delaware?

Companies currently hiring icu registered nurses in Delaware include HUCKEYE HEALTH SERVICES, Trinity Health, and Bayhealth, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Delaware's ICU hiring is anchored by large integrated health systems with multiple campuses, meaning openings appear across both flagship hospitals and affiliated community facilities throughout the state.

Which Delaware cities have the most icu registered nurse jobs?

Dover, Milford, and Wilmington are the Delaware cities with the most icu registered nurse openings. Wilmington leads because ChristianaCare's flagship campus and several specialty facilities are headquartered there, while Newark and Dover draw consistent volume from regional medical centers and state government-affiliated health institutions serving those surrounding communities.

How can I get hired as a icu registered nurse in Delaware with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to a nurse residency or new-graduate transition program at a major Delaware health system. ChristianaCare and Bayhealth Medical Center both run structured residency programs designed for new RN graduates, often including critical care rotations that lead directly to ICU placement. Starting in a step-down or progressive care unit is a common lateral move that builds the monitoring and acuity experience Delaware ICU hiring managers look for, and holding an active Delaware RN license with current BLS and ACLS certifications strengthens any entry-level application.
