American Traveler is seeking an experienced RN for a Med/Surg night shift position requiring Level 1 trauma experience and a minimum of 2 years of recent med/surg experience.

• Acute care hospital med/surg unit (4W) with 22 private rooms
• Patient population includes post-op, sepsis, pneumonia, COPD, diabetes, and infection cases
• Nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4-5; no PCTs on unit — a resource RN supports in addition to a charge RN
• Heparin drips are titrated; no cardiac drips on this unit
• RT is assigned directly to the unit
• No telemetry on the unit, but telemetry experience is preferred due to floating potential
• Charting via Cerner
• 12-hour night shifts
• Schedule is self-scheduled 4 weeks at a time; 3 weekend days (Saturday/Sunday) required per pay period
• Holiday coverage is required based on unit rotation
• No on-call or standby requirement
• Travelers are first to float to other med/surg/tele units within the hospital

• Active AZ or Compact (NLC) RN license required — must be active at time of consideration; pending licenses not accepted
• Current BLS certification required — pending certifications not accepted
• Minimum 2 years of recent med/surg experience required
• Level 1 trauma experience required
• Telemetry experience preferred (may be required when floating to other units)
• Candidates must permanently reside at least 50 miles from the facility; driver's license is used to verify permanent address
• 2 professional references required: one supervisor from within the last 12 months and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years, both including dates of employment and eligibility for rehire
• Copy of driver's license required for consideration
• First-time travelers will not be considered

• Candidates must pass the Relias Dysrhythmia (DYS) exam prior to offer confirmation; two attempts are allowed
• All RNs must complete a pass/fail SIMs Lab on Foley catheter insertion and central line dressing changes — competency in sterile field technique is critical, as nurses have been dismissed during SIMs Lab for breaking sterile field
• A pass/fail exam on sterile technique is administered on day 1 of orientation
• Orientation also includes educational components on lifts, restraints, and wound care
• Unit orientation includes 2 preceptored shifts
• Charge RN is out of the count; manager is available Monday–Friday; house supervisor is on-site 24/7
• This is a newer unit that is still growing and building its team — some variability in processes may be expected, and floating to other med/surg/tele units is likely
• Navy blue scrubs required
• Natural hair color and no facial piercings required; men must be clean-shaven (for fit test compliance)
• Candidates who have been directly employed (full-time, part-time, or PRN) by any Common Spirit, CHI, or Dignity facility within the past year are not eligible — candidates who worked PRN through outside staffing firms will be considered
• Personal vehicle required
