Who you'd be caring for

Recovering obstetric patients, including complications, hemorrhage risk and preeclampsia management.

What the shift actually looks like

Recovering obstetric patients with hemorrhage risk that can escalate fast. Quieter than L&D most of the time and occasionally the most acute unit in the building.

What you need to hold

Typically required
BLS; ACLS in many facilities
Typical ratio
Typically 1:4 to 1:5

What to ask before you accept

Hemorrhage response protocols, whether the unit takes antepartum overflow, and staffing at night.

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

Hemorrhage response competency matters more than the job title suggests. Ask about it. 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.

Working with us

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.
