Major mechanism injury from resuscitation through ICU and step-down, often with surgical and orthopedic involvement.

Activation-driven. Long stretches of routine care punctuated by bay resuscitations that pull the whole team. Orthopedic and surgical services are heavily involved and the patient often moves through several units in days.
ACS trauma level designation and whether the role sits in the bay, the ICU or the floor.
Level I experience is a genuine differentiator and commands a premium. Do not write 'trauma experience preferred' and expect it.
Answering these in the req itself shortens the process considerably, because they are the questions that otherwise surface at offer stage and cause declines: Activation volume, level designation, and where in the pathway the role actually sits.
Contract for census swings, leave coverage and seasonal surge. Per diem to protect ratios without expanding core FTE. Permanent when the seat is structural. The expensive mistake is running contract labour for eighteen months on a role that was always permanent.
Registered nursing is covered by the Nurse Licensure Compact in most of the country, so a multistate license lets a nurse work across member states without a new application. Thirteen jurisdictions sit outside it — Alaska, California, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands — and in those markets every out-of-state nurse needs a single-state license first. Those are the markets where reqs stay open longest.
Every candidate is spoken to before you see them, with licensure for your state, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed before submittal. We screen to the credential the unit actually needs rather than the title on the posting. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
BLS, ACLS, TNCC; CEN or CCRN depending on placement.
