\n
• Every other weekend required; every 3rd weekend may be considered
\n
• No on-call responsibilities
\n
• Floating may be required within the hospital or to a nearby affiliate — travelers are not expected to take a patient assignment outside of OB, but may serve as a 'watcher' for mental health or at-risk patients, or assist with vitals, toileting, and repositioning on med/surg
\n
• Block scheduling will be considered
\n
• Charting system: Epic (Excellian) — experience required
\n
• 20-week assignment
\n

• Must be able to provide comprehensive L&D care including triage, antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and newborn care
\n
• Candidates must reside more than 100 miles from the facility to be eligible
\n
• 1 supervisor reference required for consideration
\n
• Fingerprinting (LiveScan) required — candidates must complete this as early as possible, as results can take 1 day to 3–4 weeks; this is a Minnesota state requirement with no exceptions
\n

Additional Information\n

\n
• Responsibilities span the full continuum of OB care: triage, antepartum monitoring (NST, EFM), labor support, delivery assistance, postpartum care, couplet care, and newborn assessment

\n
• Newborn care includes APGAR scoring, thermoregulation, phototherapy, hypoglycemia management, and discharge teaching to parents
\n
• Charge nurse experience is preferred
\n
• Community hospital experience is preferred
\n
• Travel experience is preferred but not required; first-time travelers are welcome to apply
\n
• Candidates who previously worked at this health system as permanent staff or per diem must have been gone at least 3 months from their last shift before being eligible
