• Float pool covers multiple unit types including General MS-Tele, Cardiac, Neuro, Oncology, Rehab, Renal, Bariatrics, Ortho, Trauma, and ED Obs
• May be assigned to float into other acuity levels including ICU (low acuity holds within skillset), PCU/Stepdown, and MS-Tele
• Adult and geriatric patient population with common diagnoses including cardiac, neuro, ortho, oncology, renal, urology post-surgical, general surgery, gynecology, psych/detox, ENT, and general medicine
• Nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:5–6 based on acuity
• Nurse aides available on unit
• Respiratory therapy equipment including vents, CPAP, and BiPAP in use on unit
• Heparin drip titration required
• Designated charge nurse on each unit who typically does not carry a patient assignment, though night shift charge nurses may take a small assignment when needed
• 12-hour night shifts (7p–7a)
• 6–9 weekend shifts required per 6-week schedule
• 13-week contract
• EMR: Epic (experience preferred)
• Alaris pump experience preferred

Requirements

• Active KS RN license or Compact (NLC) RN license — must be active at time of consideration; pending licenses will not be accepted

• Valid driver's license required
• Candidate's permanent address must be at least 60 miles from the Garden City, KS zone center to qualify for travel rates

Additional Information

• Travelers are expected to float throughout the full Zone 4 area (up to 60 miles from Garden City, KS center); it is the traveler's responsibility to secure housing that makes this feasible
• Schedules are released 4–6 weeks in advance and follow one of two formats: (A) assigned to a single facility for the week with possible in-facility floating, or (B) Just-In-Time (JIT) assignment communicated 1–2 hours before shift start
• Shift assignments are managed by leadership on a 6-week schedule; travelers are expected to be flexible and help fill scheduling gaps
• All time-off requests must be submitted prior to the start of the assignment
• May be asked to participate in holiday rotation
• Low-census standby is rare
• Clinicians must be in-state for the week of orientation, even if initial modules are completed remotely (12-hour orientation)
• Prior neuro experience preferred
• Candidates may not have been directly employed (full-time, part-time, or PRN) by any CommonSpirit, CHI, or Dignity facility within the past year; candidates placed PRN through outside staffing firms will be considered
