About the Position

Job Title: Registered Nurse Profession: RN (Registered Nurse) Specialty: Neuro Med-Surg Acute Duration: 13 weeks Shift: 12H Days Hours per Shift: 12 hours Experience: Minimum 1 year of experience required License: Active state license or confirmation that application process has been initiated Certifications: BLS, NIHSS required Must-Have: - Level 1 trauma experience - Previous travel experience (no first-time travelers) - Prior experience working on a dedicated neuro unit - Must have heparin drip experience Description: The unit consists of 54 beds, including 2 semi-private rooms. The nurse-to-patient ratios are 1:4-5 during the day shift and 1:5-6 during the night shift. Common diagnoses include stroke, spine surgery, seizure, brain tumor, head injury, and other neuroscience cases, along with some medical overflow. RNs will be required to titrate drips, specifically heparin titrated based on PTT. A charge nurse is present on each shift, available 24/7, and does not take an assignment unless staffing requires it. A house supervisor is also available 24/7. Patient care technicians are available, with ratios of 1:9-10 during the day and evening shifts, and 1:10-12 at night. The unit may occasionally have high-flow equipment for stable patients but does not typically handle a large amount of COVID. Telemetry is managed house-wide, so nurses do not need to read telemetry strips, which are monitored using Phillips equipment. The shifts are 12 hours long with an expectation of working every other weekend and holiday. Floating is required in rotation with the rest of the staff; travelers will only float to the general unit and must adhere to skill competencies. There is no requirement for specific scrub colors, and tattoos must be covered while on duty. The unit-specific orientation lasts 2 days, covering necessary computer training and hands-on patient care with a preceptor.
