Description\n

American Traveler is seeking an experienced RN for a float pool Labor & Delivery position covering L&D, antepartum, and postpartum units across multiple facilities, requiring a minimum of 3 years of women's services experience and an active ID or compact RN license.

Details\n

\n
• Float pool position within women's services, rotating across Labor & Delivery, antepartum, and postpartum units at facilities in Boise, Meridian, and Nampa — all approximately 20 minutes apart and easily accessible from the interstate
\n
• Travelers will be first to float and may be reassigned mid-shift to different units or facilities based on need; unit assignment is communicated via app approximately 1 hour before shift start
\n
• Patient population includes antepartum patients at 22+ weeks gestation, high-risk L&D cases (PPROM, placenta previa, pre-eclampsia, diabetes, twin gestations), and full postpartum couplet care
\n
• AWHONN staffing guidelines followed; postpartum couplet care ratio is 1:6
\n
• RNs are required to titrate drips including Pitocin (1–40 mL/units), insulin, and magnesium sulfate
\n
• Fetal monitoring strips are read by RNs; cardiac telemetry strips are read by tele techs when applicable
\n
• EMR: Epic (experience required)
\n
• 13-week contract, night shift, 12-hour shifts (7p–7a)
\n
• Schedule is 4x12s; no self-scheduling — shift trades allowed with manager approval, and RTO requests must be submitted upfront
\n
• Every other weekend required
\n
• No on-call or standby requirement
\n

Requirements\n

\n
• Active ID or compact RN license required; must be active at time of consideration — pending licenses not accepted
\n
• Required certifications (all must be active; AHA or ARC accepted): BLS, ACLS, NRP, PALS, and STABLE
\n
• Minimum 3 years of L&D, postpartum, and antepartum experience required
\n
• Experience in all three areas — L&D, postpartum, and antepartum — is required; OR circulating experience preferred
\n
• Epic EMR experience required
\n
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently within chain of command are essential
\n
• 2 professional references required for consideration: one supervisor from within the last 12 months and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years, both including dates of employment and eligibility for rehire
\n
• Driver's license required for consideration
\n

Additional Information\n

\n
• RNs perform full couplet care assignments in postpartum, including car seat studies, and manage high-risk antepartum and L&D patients independently
\n
• RNs are not required to circulate for C-sections, though OR circulating experience is preferred; NICU staff attend all deliveries as a resource
\n
• OB laborist and neonatologist available 24/7, with dedicated CRNA anesthesia coverage 24/7
\n
• Surgical techs are available on some shifts; support staff presence varies by unit and time of day
\n
• Orientation consists of approximately 4–5 shifts, with at least one shift at each facility site and coverage of L&D, antepartum, and OR areas
\n
• Unit management is not physically on-site; travelers are expected to use chain of command, know their resources, and communicate proactively
\n
• Scrubs are provided
\n
• Holiday scheduling for travelers is rare but may occasionally be required
\n
• Candidates must reside more than 50 miles from the facility to be eligible — no local candidates accepted
\n
• First-time travelers will not be considered for this position
\n
