Job description

Join a busy critical care unit that covers medical, cardiac, surgical, and neuro cases in a 20-bed facility. This role involves floating to med-surge units with telemetry as a priority and assisting in the emergency department for admission holds. The shift runs 12-hour nights over a 13-week contract, offering a chance to experience high-acuity situations like sepsis, ARDS, and overdoses. Expect to perform assessments, monitor patient stability, and assist with complex cases—think of yourself as the steady hand in a fast-paced environment. Previous ICU experience of at least 2 years is preferred, along with familiarity with procedures such as stroke management and withdrawal protocols. While not required, additional skills like BMT knowledge or the Belmont Rapid Transfuser can make your stay even more impactful. This assignment is perfect for travelers eager to apply their expertise and adapt to a variety of critical scenarios, all while working with a dedicated team in a facility that values versatility and skill.
