Job Description:

Join a 13-week travel contract at Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, as a PICU RN. This role involves rotating 12-hour shifts—covering both days and nights (6:45 PM – 7:15 AM)—offering a balanced mix of work and rest. The assignment is ideal for nurses experienced in pediatric intensive care, caring for patients from birth to 21 years with complex diagnoses such as respiratory support, sepsis, TBI, oncology, and surgical conditions. You'll float to inpatient units within your skill set, providing critical care support in a fast-paced environment that keeps you on your toes. This position champions flexibility with rotating or straight night shifts, requiring 36 hours per week, with every other weekend on call (no weekends required). The perfect fit if you bring at least 2 years' PICU experience, hold a Colorado RN license, and are proficient with ventilators, ICP monitors, and infusion pumps. While travel experience is a bonus, seasoned staff with relevant experience are encouraged to apply. Prepare yourself for a rewarding experience in a facility that values competence and adaptability.
