• Every other weekend required; every 3rd weekend may be considered
• No on-call responsibilities
• Floating may be required within the hospital or to a nearby affiliate — travelers are not expected to take a patient assignment outside of OB, but may serve as a 'watcher' for mental health or at-risk patients, or assist with vitals, toileting, and repositioning on med/surg

• Fingerprinting (LiveScan) required — candidates must complete this as early as possible, as results can take 1 day to 3–4 weeks; this is a Minnesota state requirement with no exceptions

Additional Information

• Responsibilities span the full continuum of OB care: triage, antepartum monitoring (NST, EFM), labor support, delivery assistance, postpartum care, couplet care, and newborn assessment
