Job Description

This 13-week travel contract is for a Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse working 12-hour night shifts in Henderson, North Carolina. You will care for adult and geriatric patients in a 48-bed medical-surgical unit, managing a high-turnover assignment with an expected ratio of approximately 1:6. The role includes starting IVs, inserting Foley catheters and NG tubes, performing EKGs, and managing heparin drips. NIH, ACLS, and BLS certifications are required, along with at least one year of experience and completion of at least one prior travel assignment.
