Unit Notes:Auto offers as long as traveler understands they cannot accommodate block scheduling and that this is a rural hospital that is very reliant on travelers in Med/Tele units. They manage it well and the same leadership has been in place for years but there is not a lot of continuity with the staff which can be challenging for some. They need a team player who is there to work hard and contribute to caring for patient s of their community as best as they can.Will offer 36hrs/wk or 36/48 hrs/bi wkly# Beds25Ratios5-6:1Required CertificationsBLS, ACLSCommon diagnosis / Types of patientschf, diabetes, PNA, CKD, m/s teleExperience or 'Must have' skills18+ Months of recent Med/Tele exp, great communication and time management.

Pros
I met her a year ago, and was wanting to travel but I didn’t have my multi-state licenses yet. She remembered me! Not long ago she reached out to me and said she wanted to help me and that she had some terrific leads. She got me into a job in Wisconsin, and she checks on me all the time. I couldn’t ask for a better recruiter and friend! I am so blessed to have been one of her clients! I will send everyone I know to her!! ❤️"
