Join a leading healthcare organization as a Respiratory Therapist in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Newnan, GA. This contract position offers the opportunity to work with some of the smallest patients in a Level 3 NICU setting. As a skilled therapist, you will be responsible for attending high-risk deliveries, assessing APGAR scores, and providing critical care to newborns.
**Unit Details:** You will need to work independently in the NICU, demonstrating proficiency in various modalities of oxygen therapy, surfactant administration, and drawing capillary gases. You will also place initial ventilator settings and navigate oscillators as necessary, as well as resuscitate newborns post-delivery when required. Critical thinking and strong clinical skills are essential for this role.
**Weekend Requirements:** Every other weekend.
**Call Requirements:** None.
**Floating:** Within facility/scope of practice as needed.
**Minimum Experience:** 2 years. The unit does not accept first-time travelers.
**Clinical Screen:** Candidates will be reviewed by clinical staff to determine fit. If clinical criteria are met and within guidelines, candidates will be sent to the manager for final decision. Clinical screens will be conducted on a case-by-case basis.
**RTO:** Maximum of 7 days.
**Holidays:** If one major holiday falls within the assignment period, the traveler is expected to work it. If two major holidays occur, both are expected to be worked. If three major holidays fall within the assignment period, the traveler is expected to work two of the holidays. Major Holidays include: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving/Black Friday, Christmas Eve/Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day.
**Compliance:** Full compliance is required to start on time. If not compliant in time, the push back is 2 weeks due to the bi-weekly orientation schedule. Locals are accepted at the same rate.
