About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Emergency Department RN to join a busy Level 1 Trauma Center ED. You'll care for patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, with a wide range of complaints, from minor injuries to critically ill and cardiac arrest patients. Level 1/2 trauma patients are handled in the trauma bay by a specialized trauma team. Travelers may care for trauma patients once they have been stabilized and moved to a pod bed.

Unit Snapshot

• Beds: 65, all private, plus 2 trauma bays

• Ratios: 1:3-5, depending on acuity and department needs

• Staffing: ED physicians and/or mid-levels on at all times, with at least 3 attendings at all times. Two charge nurses per shift, one handling incoming patients and telemetry radios and the other managing department flow. A house supervisor is on 24/7.

• Support staff: ED techs, respiratory therapists, and a monitor tech. Radiology staff or transport handle X-ray and CT transport.

• Monitors: Philips. RNs are expected to interpret and act on rhythms, so ACLS is essential.

• Labs: Nurses and techs draw labs. Boarders have labs drawn by phlebotomy.

Responsibilities

• Assess, triage, and care for a diverse ED patient population

• Titrate and manage a wide variety of drips, including vasopressor drips and cardiac drips, plus antihypertensive drugs

• Interpret cardiac rhythms and respond appropriately

• Care for stabilized trauma patients transferred from the trauma bay

• Work with respiratory therapy for vent, CPAP, BiPAP, and high-flow needs

• Document accurately in Epic

Requirements

• Active Illinois RN license, or confirmation that the application process has been initiated

• Minimum 2 years of nursing experience, with at least 1 prior travel assignment

• BSN not required

• Current ACLS, BLS, PALS, and TNCC (ENPC and TNS are also accepted for some of these)

• Proficiency with vasopressor and cardiac drips

• Ability to pass a drug screen. OSF is a drug-free campus, and a negative result on all panels is required.

Preferred: SANE RN experience; experience at a teaching hospital working with residents

Schedule and Policies

• Shifts: 12-hour nights (7p-7a). Positions are not day/night rotating for nights-only roles, but confirm with your recruiter, since the facility also lists day and mid shifts.

• Scheduling: The scheduling manager sets the schedule. Travelers don't self-schedule, but time-off requests included in the contract are reviewed and may be approved. Block scheduling is available when possible, and most travelers end up with 2 on, then 4 on, rotating; others work 6 in a row.

• Weekends: Every other weekend. For nights, the weekend is Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun.

• Holidays: Every other holiday, or based on department needs. This is negotiable with your contract request.

• Call: No on-call or standby requirement

• Floating: Rare. If floated, it's typically as a "help all" to other units, and an ED nurse would not be expected to take a team on another unit.

• Call-off policy: Equivalent of 12 hours every 13 weeks with no penalty and no need to pay back the shift

• Orientation: 12 hours, non-billable. Guaranteed hours do not apply during orientation.

• Dress code: No specific scrub color. Tasteful scrubs with only solid-colored shirts underneath.
