• 6–9 weekend shifts required per 6-week schedule
• May be asked to float into other acuity levels including ICU (low acuity holds), PCU/Stepdown, and MS-Tele
• Schedules are released 4–6 weeks in advance; travelers are expected to be flexible to help fill gaps in permanent scheduling
• Scheduling follows one of two formats: (A) assigned to a single facility for the week with possible in-facility floating, or (B) Just-In-Time (JIT) assignment, where the facility is communicated 1–2 hours before shift start
• 13-week contract

• Must reside at least 60 miles from the Denver city center (the zone's designated city center) to qualify for the travel pay rate; a valid driver's license is used to verify permanent address

Additional Information

• Provide MS-Tele nursing care across multiple specialties and facilities within Zone 3; no single home base facility

• Orientation consists of 1–2 days with a preceptor; clinicians must be on-site in Colorado for the week of orientation, even if initial modules are completed remotely
• May be asked to participate in the holiday rotation
