🔥 PREMIUM DAY-SHIFT MED SURG RN CONTRACT – LEVEL I TRAUMA EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

 

First Connect Health has an immediate 13-week travel opening for a highly precise and adaptive Medical-Surgical (Med Surg) Registered Nurse (RN) in Phoenix, Arizona. Operating within a 22-bed private-room acute care floor, this position is centered on building a unified, committed clinical team. If you are looking for a reliable 12-hour day routine, premium Southwest tax-free stipends, and an immediate auto-offer track based on clinical screening recommendation, this assignment is built for you!

 

Please note: First-time travel nurses cannot be accepted for this role. Eligible candidates must meet all strict Level I Trauma, telemetry, and clinical screening guidelines.

 

💰 PRE-CALCULATED PAY PACKAGE

  • Weekly Gross: $2,070.00
  • Weekly Tax-Free Stipend: $1,350.00
  • Hourly W2 Rate: $20.00/hr
  • Overtime Rate: $30.00/hr

📅 SHIFT & POSITION DETAILS

  • Schedule: Day shifts, 12-Hours. Schedules are constructed via 4-week blocks.
  • Guaranteed Hours: 36 regular hours guaranteed weekly.
  • Nurse-to-Patient Ratios: Ratios track firmly at 1:4 to 1:5. Rather than utilizing PCTs, the floor features a dedicated Resource RN in addition to the Charge RN to support your workflow.
  • Weekend & Holiday Expectations: 4 total weekend shifts per 4-week block (scheduled as 3 weekend days per pay period; Saturdays/Sundays). Holidays are integrated into the permanent staff rotation based on unit coverage.

  • Clinical Scope & Case Mix: High-acuity general medicine tracking. Common patient types encompass complex post-op recovery, sepsis, pneumonia, COPD, diabetes complications, and acute infections.
  • Infusions & Pacing: Independent management of Heparin titrations only; no set-rate or titratable cardiac gtts are accepted on this unit. Telemetry is not natively housed on this specified department, but telemetry skills are highly valued due to floating requirements.
  • Floating Requirements: Travelers are the first to float to other Med Surg or Telemetry units across the campus.

🚨 REQUISITE QUALIFICATIONS FOR SUBMISSION

  • Experience: Minimum 2 years of recent clinical acute care experience as an RN. Recent Med Surg experience inside a Level I Trauma Center is an absolute clinical requirement. Telemetry or charge nurse experience is highly preferred.
  • Clinical Testing Mandate: Candidates must pass a strict dysrhythmia exam prior to accepting a contract (2 attempts permitted total).
  • Licensure: Active Arizona State Nursing License or a valid Multi-State Compact RN License must be verified and active.
