Job description
Job Description
Take on a 13-week travel contract in a Med Surg ICU in Omaha, Nebraska, caring for adult and older-adolescent patients with complex conditions such as respiratory failure, ARDS, sepsis, stroke, cardiogenic shock, renal failure, and post-surgical complications. This fast-paced assignment offers exposure to advanced ICU practices, including ventilators, CRRT, arterial lines, central lines, ICP monitoring, rapid transfusion equipment, and multiple titratable medication drips.
The schedule includes 12-hour day shifts, with weekend and holiday coverage based on unit needs. You may float to inpatient units other than Maternity and NICU. Two unit-specific orientation shifts are provided, and the role requires recent ICU experience, BLS, ACLS, and NIHSS certification. Nurses should be comfortable interpreting centralized telemetry, managing high-acuity assignments, collaborating with providers, and asking questions when needed.
