Your responsibilities include airway management, IV access, life-saving medication administration, and the implementation of evidence-based interventions for sepsis, trauma, stroke, and respiratory distress. You’ll coordinate with physicians, APPs, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure timely imaging, labs, and consults, while documenting meticulously and communicating clearly with patients and families under stress. You’ll support quality improvement initiatives, participate in shift huddles, and serve as a resource to newer staff, contributing to a culture that prioritizes patient safety, continuous learning, and professional pride. The position offers a structured pathway for growth within the ER specialty, including opportunities to pursue advanced certifications, pursue leadership tracks, and take on mentoring roles. You’ll also enjoy contract flexibility, with extension opportunities that align with your goals, and a guaranteed 36 hours per week to provide stability within a dynamic travel career.
