Job Description:

Join us for an exciting opportunity as a travel PICU nurse in Bakersfield, California! This unique assignment calls for skilled professionals ready to immerse themselves in the fast-paced world of pediatric intensive care. With an average census of 2 patients to 1 nurse, you will provide specialized care to kids facing challenges like respiratory failure, dehydration, and seizures in a supportive environment. As a travel nurse, you'll get to experience various shifts, with a focus on 12-hour night shifts, ideal for night owls who thrive in quieter settings.

Expect to embrace the camaraderie of a dedicated team while navigating unique cases that keep your skills sharp.
