• Common patient diagnoses include sickle cell crisis, fever, abdominal pain, uncontrolled pain, anemia, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration
• The ICC operates on an appointment-based model, with patients arriving from other hospital areas (e.g., radiation, infusion) or directly from home; most are discharged rather than admitted
• Patient ratio is 1:3–4
• General combined adult/pediatric Emergency Department setting
• Epic EMR experience is required
• Night shift: 3x12-hour shifts, 19:00–07:30

• 2 professional references required: at least 1 from a manager, director, or formal leadership role (e.g., supervisor); a Charge RN is acceptable as the second reference; co-worker references are not accepted

Additional Information

• The ICC is a smaller, collaborative unit with strong team relationships and a supportive work environment, offering nurses the opportunity to develop diverse skills in a less acute oncology setting
• All candidates must complete the Ohio fingerprinting process as soon as a contract is signed; candidates outside Ohio but within driving distance must travel to an Ohio fingerprinting location promptly, while those at greater distances will receive a mailed fingerprinting packet to be completed urgently
• RTO must be submitted at time of consideration and built into the contract; RTO is limited to 7 days or fewer
• Local candidates are accepted at the same rate as travelers
• Former employees of the facility are eligible after a 6-month separation period; current employees of any Ohio State University hospital location are not eligible
• First-time travelers are not eligible for this position due to the required 1 year of prior travel experience
