Adult medical and surgical patients requiring intensive monitoring, vasoactive drips, and often mechanical ventilation.
Twelve-hour shifts with two patients, or one if someone is proning or on CRRT. The day is built around hourly assessments, drip titration, and the handful of moments where a patient turns and everything else stops. Rounds are multidisciplinary in most units and the nurse is expected to present.
Ratio during codes, whether there is a dedicated rapid response team, and how often ICU nurses get pulled to step-down.
We put those questions to the facility at intake so you get a straight answer before you commit, not after your first shift.
CCRN-certified ICU nurses are among the most competed-for clinicians in the country. Facilities that do not specify drip and vent experience precisely tend to receive step-down nurses who cannot hold the assignment. For you, that is leverage — the narrower the skill set, the smaller the pool you are competing against and the better the assignments you get offered.
Travel pays the most and moves you every 8–26 weeks. Local contract gets you contract rates without relocating. Per diem lets you pick up shifts around your own schedule. Permanent when you want to settle, build seniority and stop packing.
We tell you the rate, the unit and the shift pattern before you commit, and we ask permission before every single submittal — you will never find out you were put forward somewhere after the fact. One recruiter handles you from the first call through to your last shift.
Placement is always free to you. Our fee is paid by the facility. Join the network and we will only call you when something genuinely fits.
