Pluto Healthcare is seeking a travel nurse RN ICU - Intensive Care Unit for a travel nursing job in Keyser, West Virginia.
Unit Notes
50 mile radius rule - Must live outside 50 miles from facility to be eligible.
Floating to medsurg/telemetry and to occasional 1:5-6 ratio. this is based on acuity and would not be applicable for "critical" ICU patients
Would love someone who is agreeable to pediatric care and obtaining PALS while there
Our icu is a 4 bed icu but functions as a step down pt type of unit. We very rarely have a vent and for the most part these pts are bipap pts and drips such as insulin, cardizem, and levophed on occasion. The ratio is 2:1 but can go to 4:1 with low acuity pts. That unit is only staffed with 1 Rn and 1 tech but our medsurg unit is connected so the nurse does need to be rather independent. We utilize telemedicine for virtual icu with the intensivists from wvu but also have local attendings managing the pts.
