• Night shift schedule: 3x12-hour shifts (7p–7a)
• Every other weekend required; every 3rd weekend may be considered
• No on-call responsibilities
• 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

  Epic (Excellian) — experience required

• Candidates must reside more than 100 miles from the facility to be eligible
• 1 supervisor reference required for consideration
• Fingerprinting (Live Scan) 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

• Responsibilities span the full continuum of OB care: triage, antepartum monitoring (NST, EFM), labor support, delivery assistance, postpartum care, couplet care, and newborn assessment
• Key clinical skills include fetal heart monitoring (external and internal), IUPC placement, hemorrhage/shock management, Pitocin/Magnesium Sulfate administration, and epidural pain management
• Newborn care includes APGAR scoring, thermoregulation, phototherapy, hypoglycemia management, and discharge teaching to parents
• Charge nurse experience is preferred
• Community hospital experience is preferred
• Travel experience is preferred but not required; first-time travelers are welcome to apply
