Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced ICU Registered Nurse for a 13-week contract assignment in a 9-bed Intensive Care Unit. This role requires strong critical care skills, the ability to manage complex patients, and flexibility to support additional departments when needed. The standard nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:2, with 1:1 assignments when clinically indicated. During medical-surgical overflow periods, ratios may increase to 1:3 or 1:4. The unit primarily cares for adults, though stable pediatric patients may occasionally be admitted. Unstable pediatric cases are transferred to a higher level of care.

A minimum of three nurses are scheduled per shift. Nurses may also be assigned charge responsibilities, and floating may occur to assist other departments (without receiving a patient assignment).

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality care to critically ill adult patients
• Monitor, assess, and document changes in patient condition
• Manage ventilators, drips, and ICU-level interventions
• Provide care during Med/Surg overflow periods
• Support pediatric patients when stable
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to coordinate care
• Float to other departments as needed (without assuming a full patient load)
• Serve as charge nurse when assigned
• Adhere to safety, infection-control, and regulatory standards
• Utilize EPIC EMR for documentation

Requirements

• Active RN license (state-specific as required)
• Minimum 2 years of ICU or CCU experience
• Current ACLS, BLS, and PALS certifications (PALS required)
• Strong critical-care assessment and clinical judgment skills
• Ability to work 12-hour day or night shifts
• Not a bilingual-required position

Additional Information

• Holiday coverage is required
• Up to 4 submissions allowed per job requisition
• Reference checks must be submitted via email (no phone calls)
