The Inpatient Hold - Critical Care unit is an embedded department within the Emergency Department, designed to accommodate up to 22 beds. This unit provides care for admitted patients requiring ICU, IMCU, or acute care before they are placed on an inpatient floor. It comprises mixed acuity levels, with staffing ratios established based on patient needs. The typical length of stay is less than 24 hours, although during periods of high census, patients may remain for over 24 hours. The unit is designed for efficiency, allowing multiple patients to be assigned beds concurrently.
All candidates will undergo a clinical review to ensure fit based on established guidelines. A clinical screen will be conducted on a case-by-case basis.
A maximum of 7 days of RTO is permitted per contract.
Travelers are expected to work during holidays as follows:
Major holidays include:
Full compliance is required to ensure timely onboarding. Delays in compliance may result in a pushback of two weeks due to a bi-weekly orientation schedule.
Local candidates are accepted at the same rate as travelers.
The number of non-billable orientation hours is determined by the contract length; for example, 8 hours for an 8-week assignment and 10 hours for a 10-week assignment.
