Details

• Acute care hospital setting with no single home base facility — travelers float across Zone 4, which covers three facilities within a 60-mile radius of Garden City, KS
• Float pool encompasses multiple MS-Tele units spanning specialties including Cardiac, Neuro, Oncology, Rehab, Renal, Bariatrics, Ortho, Trauma, and ED Obs
• Adult and geriatric patient population with 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
• Heparin drip titration required
• Respiratory therapy equipment including vents, CPAP, and BiPAP in use on units
• Nurse aides available on units
• Charting in Epic; experience preferred
• Alaris pump experience preferred
• 12-hour day shifts (7:00 AM – 7:00 PM)
• 6–9 weekend shifts required per 6-week schedule
• Schedules are set by leadership on a 6-week rolling basis; travelers are expected to remain flexible to fill scheduling gaps
• May be assigned to a single facility for the week with internal floating, or assigned to a facility 1–2 hours before shift start (Just-In-Time/JIT scheduling)
• May be asked to float into other acuity levels including ICU (low-acuity holds within skillset), PCU/Stepdown, and MS-Tele
• Designated charge nurse on each unit; charge does not typically take a patient assignment, though night shift charge may carry a small assignment when needed
• On-call or standby requirements are rare and typically related to low census
• 13-week contract

Requirements

• Active KS RN license or Compact (NLC) RN license currently in hand — pending licenses not accepted
• Current certifications required: BLS (AHA), ACLS (AHA), and NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) — pending certifications not accepted
• Minimum 2 years of MS-Tele experience within the last 3 years
• A valid driver's license is required for consideration
• 2 professional references required: one supervisor from within the last 12 months worked, and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years worked — both must include dates of employment and eligibility for rehire
• Permanent residence must be at least 60 miles from the Garden City, KS zone center to qualify for travel rates

Additional Information

• Travelers are hired into Zone 4 (centered around Garden City, KS) and are expected to float among all facilities within the zone: Bob Wilson Memorial Hospital (Ulysses, KS), St. Catherine – Dodge City (Dodge City, KS), and St. Catherine – Garden City (Garden City, KS)
• It is the traveler's responsibility to secure housing that allows them to float throughout the full 60-mile zone
• Travelers must be physically present in Kansas for the week of orientation, even if initial orientation modules are completed remotely
• All time-off requests must be submitted prior to starting the assignment
• May be asked to participate in the holiday rotation
• Prior neuro experience is preferred
• Candidates may not have been directly employed (full-time, part-time, or PRN) by any CommonSpirit, CHI, or Dignity Health facility within the past year — candidates who worked PRN through outside staffing firms will be considered
