Job Description:

Join a travel emergency department RN assignment in a small community setting with a surprisingly broad range of emergencies.

The role includes managing and titrating critical drips, interpreting telemetry and EKGs, assisting with respiratory treatments and equipment, drawing labs as needed, and supporting patient flow from triage through disposition. The department uses 12-hour night shifts, offers 1–2 days of precepted orientation, and welcomes first-time travelers with substantial emergency department experience.
