Critical Care Transport Registered Nurse (CCT RN)

Location:

Kern County, CA

Employment Type:

Full-Time Salary: $116,000–$135,000 annually (DOE) Relocation Assistance:
Up to $2,500 About the Opportunity

Legacy Staffing is proud to partner with a trusted medical provider serving Kern County for over 50 years. We are seeking a highly skilled and compassionate Critical Care Transport Registered Nurse (CCT RN) to join their elite mobile intensive care unit team. This is a unique opportunity to deliver advanced patient care in a more autonomous, one-on-one setting while making a meaningful impact in emergency medical services.

• Relocation reimbursement up to $2,500
• 1:1 patient ratio for focused, high‑acuity care
• Autonomous work environment under established protocols
• Opportunities to respond to 911 calls alongside Paramedics
• Full‑time stability in a specialized Critical Care Transport (CCT) environment
• Full paid benefits

• Provide advanced nursing care during ground transport in mobile ICU units
• Respond to medical emergencies and deliver ALS/BLS treatment
• Conduct patient assessments and manage critical conditions during transit
• Administer life‑saving interventions (airway management, cardiac monitoring, medications)
• Operate and maintain advanced medical equipment (EKGs, defibrillators, suction devices)
• Coordinate care with sending/receiving facilities, EMS teams, and first responders
• Document patient care accurately and ensure compliance with reporting standards
• Provide compassionate support to patients and families during transport
• Mentor and guide EMTs and Paramedics in proper EMS techniques
• Ensure vehicle and equipment readiness and compliance with safety standards

• Minimum 3 years of ER and/or ICU experience
• Valid CPR certification
• Class C California Driver License (issued by client)
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to perform effectively in high‑stress, fast‑paced environments
• Computer proficiency for documentation and reporting

• Within 2 months of hire: ACLS, PALS, NRP, TNCC (or equivalent) – internal training available
• Within 2 years of hire:
  Advanced Nursing Certification (CTRN, CEN, CCRN, or equivalent)

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Frequent physical activity: pushing, pulling, kneeling, squatting, climbing
• Long periods of standing and walking
• Fast‑paced emergency medical and transport environments

This is a full-time, fixed‑schedule position due to the critical nature of transport operations.

• 12‑hour shifts
• Alternating schedule: 36 hours one week & 48 hours the following week
• Onboarding and CCT training typically take 3–6 weeks, depending on experience

This position follows California daily overtime requirements, which means compensation is structured differently than many hospital roles.

• Each 12‑hour shift includes: 8 hours at a regular rate & 4 hours paid at overtime (1.5x)
• Overtime is built into every shift, not only after 40 hours in a week
• Because overtime is paid daily, the regular hourly rate may appear lower than some hospital base rates
• When all scheduled shifts are worked over the year, total annual compensation aligns with a target of approximately $120,000+ for RNs with ICU or ER experience

This is not a reduction in pay — it is a compliant pay structure that ensures consistent overtime earnings and predictable annual compensation.

• Annual compensation range: $116,000–$135,000 DOE
• Built‑in overtime paid every shift
• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability Insurance
• 401(k)
• Relocation assistance up to $2,500
• Opportunities for advancement and professional development
