Additional Details:

Resume: Each employment history entry must include all the following: detailed duties, hospital size, unit size, trauma level (if applicable), patient ratio, teaching facility. References: At least one reference must be from the same unit/specialty as the job you’re applying to.

Required Skills/Experience: Must be proficient with IV starts and blood draws. Strong general medicine/internal medicine experience is required.

Preferred Skills/Experience: Charge experience preferred but not required.

Required Credentials: Must pass an EKG exam.

Special Requests: An interview may not be available prior to offer. Any employment gaps greater than 30 days must be explained. Cannot apply to more than one job order on the same unit and shift at the facility. Must disclose previous employment on your resume or elsewhere within the submission for a DNU check. Daily parking is $15+/day. Multiple on- and off-campus garage and lot options offer monthly parking passes ranging from $95 - $120.

Unit Details: The unit serves a generally lower-acuity general medicine/internal medicine population, comparable to a regular MedSurg unit in a community hospital. Patients include those with cellulitis, abdominal pain, infections, surgical overflow, direct admissions, transplant workups, some behavioral patients, and inpatient rehab/SNF transition patients waiting for insurance authorization. The unit generally receives patients who do not require telemetry. RNs perform the majority of phlebotomy and IV starts; techs can perform lab draws and EKGs. RNs titrate drips including heparin and Lasix. Respiratory therapy is shared between floors. Patients may have home CPAPs, which RT sets up, and receive breathing treatments.

Shift & Scheduling: Night shifts are 7p-7a, and nurses must arrive 15 min early for shift change. Huddles start at 6:45; the earliest clock-in is 6:38. Schedules are created on a month-to-month basis, and the manager will work with traveler requests. Every other weekend is required; weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Holiday shifts are rotated with core staff. No call.

Floating Requirements: Floating is required; nurses rotate with core staff and float only to MedSurg/Telemetry acuity floors. This unit does not have telemetry but requires telemetry competency for floating; it is the only unit without telemetry. NIHSS is not needed for this floor but is required for floating purposes. All other units have telemetry, and RNs must have experience with basic EKGs, know how to interpret strips, and perform cardiac drips for the floating requirement.

7 days maximum time off. Facility holidays: 11/26/2026, 12/25/2026, 01/01/2027. Number of holidays allowed off: 1. Start assignment restriction: 14 days. Maximum consecutive days off: 5
