Job Description
This travel assignment places you in a hospital setting in Montevideo, Minnesota, where you’ll be working in a specialized unit focused on cardiac conditions like MIs and CVAs. The role involves a 12-hour rotating shift schedule, including every third weekend, with an expected commitment of 36 hours per week over a 13-week period. The unit sees fewer than 300 patients per month and is staffed with a single nurse, offering a more intimate work environment.
