Travel Nurse (RN) - Emergency Department

References: At least one reference must be from the same unit/specialty as the job you're applying to.

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• At least 1 prior travel assignment preferred.
• SANE RN experience preferred.
• Working at a hospital with residents (teaching hospital) preferred.

Unit Details:

• The ED cares for patients from newborns to the elderly, ranging from minor complaints to critically ill patients, including cardiac arrest, strokes, heart attacks, and Level 1/2 trauma patients.
• Travelers may care for trauma patients after they are stabilized in the trauma bay and transferred to a pod, but are not likely to be the primary nurse in the trauma bay.
• The ED titrates all types of drips, including vasopressor, cardiac, and antihypertensive drips; nurses should be proficient in vasopressor-drip titration.
• ED nurses interpret and act on patient rhythms, including recognizing life-threatening rhythms; a monitor technician is available.
• Philips monitors are used, and travelers are oriented to their use.
• ED nurses may troubleshoot vents, CPAP, BiPAP, and high-flow equipment; respiratory therapists assist with these devices.
• Nurses and ED technicians draw labs; phlebotomy sometimes draws labs for boarded patients.
• Nurse-to-patient ratios are 1:3-5 and vary based on acuity or department needs.

Shift & Scheduling:

• Shifts are not day/night rotating.
• Every other weekend is required on a rotation, usually resulting in 2 shifts on followed by 4 shifts on.
• Holiday coverage is required every other holiday or based on department needs and is negotiable based on contract requests.
• No call requirement for travelers.
• Travelers do not self-schedule; time-off requests may be included in the contract and are reviewed based on the ability to accommodate scheduling requests.

Special Requests:

• Block scheduling may be available when feasible, and six shifts in a row can usually be accommodated.

Floating Requirements:

• Floating to other units as a "help all" is very rare, and travelers are typically not floated; if floated, an ED nurse would not be expected to take a team on another unit.
