• Neonatal respiratory equipment in use includes CPAP, BiPap, and high-flow
• EFM system used is OB Trace Vue

• Every third weekend required
• Holiday coverage required based on availability
• Travelers are first to float; floating may include MSP/ED for 1:1 patient sitting
• 13-week contract

Requirements

• Active ND RN license or Compact (NLC) RN license currently in hand; pending licenses will not be accepted
• Current certifications required: BLS, ACLS, and NRP; pending certifications will not be accepted
• Minimum 2 years of L&D/LDRP RN experience required
• Candidates must reside more than 50 miles from the facility to be eligible for this position
• Candidates may not currently be or have been within the past year directly employed (full-time, part-time, or PRN) by any facility associated with CommonSpirit, including CHI and/or Dignity; candidates employed PRN through outside firms will be considered
• A driver's license is required for consideration
• 2 professional references are required: one supervisor from within the last 12 months worked, and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years worked, including dates of employment and eligibility for rehire

Additional Information

• This is a rural hospital located more than 1 hour from the nearest NICU, with limited services; independence, strong communication, and clinical knowledge are key to success in this unit
• RNs circulate for the baby during C-sections; surgery is responsible for the procedure itself
• No clinical involvement noted for certain aspects of care — travelers should be prepared to work independently within their scope
• A charge nurse is present on each shift and carries an assignment
• Unit-specific orientation consists of 3x12-hour shifts
• Scrubs are provided by the facility
• Candidates with facial hair must pass a fit test (3M Aura 1860 or 3M 1870+); if unable to pass, a Portacount test is required, which cannot be performed on clinicians with facial hair — failure to comply may result in contract cancellation
• RTO must be requested upfront; 7 days or fewer per 13-week contract; additional RTO will not be approved
