night, if only one charge nurse is scheduled, they will not take a
patient assignment. Patient care techs assist on the unit with an
approximate ratio of 1:10-12. Responsibilities of the patient care
techs include monitoring vitals, glucose monitoring, conducting
EKGs, applying heart monitors, personal hygiene tasks, feeding,
toileting, and patient positioning. Respiratory therapy will
administer treatments and manage respiratory equipment; nurses are
primarily responsible for monitoring. A dedicated telemetry monitor
technician is available to support nurses, who are not expected to
interpret telemetry strips. Shifts are scheduled from 7 AM to 7 PM
for nurses and from 6 AM to 6 PM for patient care techs. No
self-scheduling or block scheduling is permitted; scheduling is
managed by the nursing manager. Traveling staff are expected to be
flexible and assist with filling in gaps in the schedule. Every
other weekend work is required for this position. Holiday rotations
may apply. There is no on-call or standby requirement. Floating may
occur to any other medical surgical or intermediate care units for
lower acuity patients. Scrub colors are navy blue for registered
nurses and ceil blue for patient care techs. Training consists of
one day with an educator or on the computer system, followed by one
day with a preceptor. Cancellation policy allows the client to
cancel two shifts during a 13-week assignment. The charting system
used is Cerner. 5 Benefits of Travel Nursing A diverse portfolio of
experiences adds depth to your professional profile. This can be
beneficial if you decide to pursue leadership roles, advanced
degrees, or specialized certifications. There is a strong community
of travel nurses who share experiences, advice, and support through
online forums and social media groups, creating a sense of
camaraderie and shared purpose. Travel nursing allows you to
experience different cultures firsthand. Working in new locations
exposes you to unique customs, traditions, and perspectives,
fostering cultural competence and enriching your personal and
professional life. Travel nursing assignments often take you to
areas with healthcare shortages. Your presence in these communities
contributes to filling critical gaps in healthcare services.
Working in various healthcare settings exposes you to different
patient populations, diseases, and treatment methods. This exposure
enhances your ability to adapt and learn, making you a more
versatile and knowledgeable healthcare professional. Requirements
