Description

🔥 HIGH-ACUITY TRANSPLANT CST CONTRACT – OUT-OF-STATE TRAVELERS ONLY

 

First Connect Health has an immediate 13-week travel opening for a highly specialized, elite Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) to support a premier abdominal organ transplant surgical program in Indianapolis, Indiana. Operating within a major academic medical center and teaching environment, this program navigates complex, high-acuity cases across 22–23 active surgical suites with an average daily volume of 35 procedures. If you are an expert tech capable of scrubbing complex organ recipient procedures independently and looking for a stable 3x12 day routine, this premium contract is built for you.

 

Please note: Due to strict regional network policy updates, Indiana state residents are no longer eligible to sign new contracts for this specialty at this location. This position is strictly open to out-of-state residents.

  • Weekly Gross: $1,925.00
  • Weekly Tax-Free Stipend: $1,349.00
  • Hourly W2 Rate: $16.00/hr
  • Overtime Rate: $24.00/hr

  • Guaranteed Hours: 36 hours weekly.
  • On-Call Requirements: Yes, 40 to 60 hours of rotational on-call standby is required per 6-week schedule block.
  • EMR Charting System: Cerner experience is preferred.
  • Advanced Robotics: Direct exposure to the DaVinci XI surgical system.
  • Clinical Scope & Case Mix: Providing dedicated, high-level scrubbing for organ transplant recipient procedures. Must demonstrate masterful aseptic technique and instrumentation management across large open belly cases, liver resections, kidney/pancreas transplants, Whipple procedures, free flaps, and complex cancer-related surgical care.

🚨 REQUISITE QUALIFICATIONS FOR SUBMISSION

Fully completed background policy details must be noted and vetted prior to presentation.
