About the Assignment

• Shifts: You'll work 12-hour night shifts, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., on intermittent dates.
• Census: You'll cover roughly 15 to 25 inpatients, with a handful of admissions a night, usually 4 to 8.
• Responsibilities: You'll take admissions and consults that come up from the ED, manage acute issues for admitted patients, answer nursing calls, and join rapid responses and codes on the med-surg floor. You won't cover the ICU or IMCU, do procedures, or back up the emergency department.
• Support: The telemedicine attending takes the first admission call from the ED, and the ED physician supports codes, including intubation.

• Credentialing: You'll need privileges at the facility, and you'll have an in-person orientation the day before your first shift. Your recruiter can confirm the credentialing timeline.
• Covered by Interim: Travel and lodging, malpractice insurance, and a clinician portal for timesheets and assignment details.

Location and Lifestyle

North Carolina has four real seasons, with mountain towns in the west, rolling farm country across the middle, and the Atlantic along its eastern edge. On your days off, you can hike or camp at one of the state's parks. College basketball is close to a religion here, and the rivalries run through every corner of the state.
