Job description
Join a travel RN role supporting Med/Surg and Telemetry in Shelby, North Carolina, where your nights are focused on monitoring, coordination, and reliable execution across a broad mix of medical-surgical diagnoses. This assignment is built around 12-hour night shifts and includes weekend rotation (every other), with the possibility of low-census call back. On the unit, you’ll handle a steady variety of cases including total joint replacements, colon resection, gallbladder and appendectomy care, amputations, hip fractures, SBO management with NG tubes, and medical overflow—working alongside a full support team that includes CNA assistance for vitals, mobility, turning, baths, and blood sugars, as well as telemetry monitoring/tech resources and 24/7 coverage from hospitalists, intensivists, and respiratory therapy.
You’ll be using EPIC and unit technology including Alaris IV pumps and Omnicell medication dispensing, with monitoring equipment such as Phillips monitors. A strong Med/Tele skillset is essential—cardiac rhythm interpretation, experience with non-titrating cardiac drips (Cardizem/Amiodarone), wound care, drain/tube management, PIV starts, and central line management—plus BLS, ACLS, and NIHSS. If you’re open to occasional floating within the region and scope of practice, this contract offers that flexibility (floating mid-shift keeps you on the clock while traveling between facilities).
Weather:
Expect generally mild conditions with a mix of sunny and partly cloudy days. Humidity can build at times, and occasional rain showers may pass through.
Fun Things To Do:
- Explore Kings Mountain State Park for trails and scenic overlooks (day trip).
- Visit the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte for outdoor activities and views (day trip).
- Stroll through downtown Shelby for local shops, dining, and seasonal events.
- Check out local history at the Cleveland County Museum of History.
- Enjoy a relaxing evening at the Margaret T. Walter Memorial Park area.
