Typical ratio

What to ask before you accept

Whether nurses read their own strips, sheath-pulling expectations, and how quickly patients step up or down.

We put those questions to the facility at intake so you get a straight answer before you commit, not after your first shift.

Why this role is in demand

Sheath pulling and strip interpretation are the two competencies most often assumed and least often verified. 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, per diem or permanent?

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.
