Description\n

American Traveler is hiring a travel RN for an ER Float Pool position in the Denver/Zone 3 area, requiring 2 years of ED experience and the ability to float across multiple facilities within a 60-mile zone.

Details\n

\n
• Acute care ER/ED float pool position with no single home base facility — travelers float across all facilities within Zone 3, which is centered around Denver and covers a 60-mile radius
\n
• Zone 3 facilities include hospitals located in Lakewood, Longmont, and Westminster, CO
\n
• Patient volume ranges from 40–168 patients per day depending on location
\n
• Nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:4–5 based on acuity
\n
• Facilities in the zone are primarily STEMI and stroke receiving, with Trauma Level 3 designation at non-designated sites
\n
• Common diagnoses include abdominal pain, DM, NSTEMI, pneumonia, trauma, stroke, and HTN
\n
• ER holds are intermixed within the ER; no separate psych/seclusion rooms
\n
• RNs must be able to independently read and interpret telemetry strips (no monitor techs)
\n
• RT is available 24/7
\n
• Charting is done in Epic
\n
• 12-hour night shifts
\n
• Every other weekend required
\n
• Every other holiday required
\n
• Schedules are released 4–6 weeks in advance; travelers are expected to be flexible and help fill scheduling gaps
\n
• Scheduling follows one of two formats: assigned to a single facility for the week (with possible intra-facility floating), or Just-In-Time (JIT) scheduling where the facility assignment is communicated 1–2 hours before shift start
\n
• 13-week contract
\n

Requirements\n

\n
• Active CO RN license or Compact (NLC) RN license currently in hand — pending licenses are not accepted
\n
• Minimum 2 years of ED/ER experience required
\n
• Required certifications (all must be active, AHA-issued): ACLS, BLS, PALS, TNCC, and NIHSS — pending certifications are not accepted
\n
• Ability to float throughout the full 60-mile Zone 3 region; housing must be secured to make this feasible
\n
• Permanent residence must be at least 60 miles from the Denver city center (the zone's city center) to qualify for travel pay rates — driver's license is used to verify permanent address
\n
• 2 professional references required: one supervisor from within the last 12 months and one peer or supervisor from within the last 3 years, both must include dates of employment and eligibility for rehire
\n
• Valid driver's license required
\n

Additional Information\n

\n
• Travelers will be trained on and expected to perform Point of Care lab testing
\n
• Support staff includes unit techs who assist with secretary work, nursing floor support, and triage
\n
• Unit/department-specific orientation is 2–3 days; clinicians must be in-state for the week of orientation even if initial modules are completed remotely
\n
• Candidates may not have been directly employed (full-time, part-time, or PRN) by any CommonSpirit, CHI, or Dignity Health facility within the past year — candidates who worked PRN through outside staffing firms will be considered
\n
• Navy blue scrubs required
\n
• No on-call or standby requirement
\n
• Interview process is conducted by the MedSol Clinical Team — no unit manager involvement
