References: At least one reference must be from the same unit/specialty as the job you're applying to.
Required Skills/Experience:
One year of experience is required as long as the clinician has experience with vents.
Experience with vents, art lines, PICC lines, ports, chest tubes, drains, wounds, ostomies, OG, NG, PPE, identifying arrhythmias, cardioversions, TEEs, post-heart-cath patients, defibrillators, and pain management is required.
Special Requests:
No self-scheduling; the team will work with travelers on block scheduling, accommodating it as much as possible.
Unit Details:
The ICU and PCU are on the same floor.
Common patient diagnoses include DKA, COVID, CHF, MVA, CVA, sepsis, overdose, and general medical cases. Pediatric patients are very rare; pediatric RNs generally take them, but an ICU RN will manage the ventilator if a pediatric patient is ventilated.
RNs are required to titrate drips. Common titratable or set-rate drips include insulin, levo, Cardizem, dopamine, dobutamine, TPA, heparin, amio, Lasix, and sedation drips.
Equipment includes vents, CPAP, and BiPAP.
A hospitalist is in house 24/7, and an intensivist is available during the day. Respiratory therapy is not in the ICU 24/7 but is in house 24/7.
Telemetry techs are on the unit; RNs are required to read their own strips using Philips tele monitors.
Shift & Scheduling:
Travelers will fill in gaps of the first schedule.
Generally every 3rd weekend, but may be more based on need; flexibility is requested.
Every 3rd holiday; expect to work one of the winter holidays.
No call requirement; call will be assigned only if the clinician requests a scheduled shift off or volunteers to cancel.
Floating Requirements:
Will float to PCU and occasionally Med-Surg. When floating to Med-Surg, will take a full patient assignment with a 1:5-6 ratio.
