Job description
Job Description:
This 13-week travel assignment is designed for a registered nurse supporting a Level I trauma post-anesthesia care unit. You will recover surgical patients following general anesthesia and manage complex postoperative needs, including multiple drains, vasoactive drips, mechanical ventilation, dysrhythmias, and patients transitioning from critical care. Surgical cases may include GU, GYN, colorectal, minimally invasive, bariatric, ENT, and interventional radiology procedures. The schedule follows rotating weekday start times, with 24 hours of call scheduled during each six-week period. A little PACU wisdom: expect every handoff to bring a new clinical puzzle.

Forest Park: Explore the zoo, art museum, history museum, and scenic walking paths.
