About The Position

We are seeking an experienced ICU Float Registered Nurse (RN) for a 13-week contract assignment. The RN will float between Medical HVCC, Surgical ICU (SICU), and Intermediate Care (IMC) units and must be comfortable caring for high-acuity and critically ill patients. The position involves working 12-hour night shifts from 7:00 PM to 7:30 AM. The patient population is in a 32-bed Medical Intensive Care & Neuro Critical Care environment with patient ratios typically 1:2, or 1:1 based on acuity. Common cases include Sepsis, ESRD and AKI requiring CRRT/CVVH, post-cardiac arrest care, respiratory failure, neuro-critical care patients, and other complex and critically ill patients. The ideal candidate is a strong, experienced ICU nurse with excellent critical-care skills, sound clinical judgment, and the ability to adapt quickly while floating between multiple critical-care environments. Candidates should be comfortable managing unstable patients and working independently in a high-acuity setting.
