• Schedule: 12-hour day shifts; 48 guaranteed hours per week, nonnegotiable. No call. The unit aims for every other weekend, but the rotation can vary.
• Experience: 2 years of non-travel ICU experience strongly preferred. Candidates with 1.5 years of non-travel ICU experience and substantial RN experience outside the ICU may be considered with manager approval. At least one prior travel assignment required.
• Credentials: BLS, ACLS, NIHSS, TNCC, and Epic experience required. TNCC must be obtained before arrival. South Dakota RN licensure and graduation from a board-approved nursing program are listed.
• Unit and ratios: 39-bed mixed medical, surgical, cardiac, and trauma ICU with a heavy trauma caseload. Ratios are typically 1:1–2, rarely 1:3, based on acuity.
• Clinical skills: Ventilator management, proning, hemodynamic lines, telemetry, and management of vasopressors, sedation, and paralytics. Impella, IABP, and CRRT strongly preferred. CABG/TAVR recovery experience is preferred; fresh open-heart assignments depend on experience and facility approval.
• Floating: Infrequent, but may float to adult units, including Med/Surg Tele at 1:4. CVICU floating requires relevant experience; confirm ED float expectations during the interview.
• Eligibility and time off: 100-mile rule from any Monument Health facility. Former permanent staff must wait 1 year. Up to 7 days off may be approved with a contract extension; no time off during holidays or the first three weeks of August for the Sturgis rally.
• Interview and orientation: Clinical interview with manager approval. Include an example of when the candidate exceeded a leader’s expectations. Orientation includes 12 hours of department training, two 12-hour floor shifts, and one additional 12-hour independent shift for the 48-hour schedule. Navy scrubs; free parking.
