🚨 CRITICAL Clinical Scope & Facility Culture

• Acuity & Admissions: This is a Select Medical LTAC facility specializing in extended-stay, chronically critically ill patients (frequently involving ventilator weaning, trachs, and complex wounds). A major strict compliance metric here is that you must complete comprehensive nursing assessments on all patients within 8 hours of admission.
• Safety Protocols: The facility heavily enforces their "10 Foot Circle of Safety." You will be continually evaluated on proactive safety awareness regarding Safe Patient Handling, infectious diseases, materials handling, and fall prevention.
• Charge & Delegation Expectations: Travelers are expected to supervise, train, and confidently delegate to ancillary nursing staff (CNAs/Techs). You must also be prepared to assume Charge Nurse responsibilities after your orientation period.
