NICU Travel Assignment: Columbus, Ohio

The Buckeye State

The travel nurse assignment in Columbus, Ohio was different from any other assignment I have been on. For example, there was a hospital system with multiple locations around the Columbus area where I could be floated to different NICUs at different hospitals. The NICU levels were III & IV throughout the hospital system. The campus where I was assigned was a small Level III NICU, with 23 beds. Most of the patients came from the Labor & Delivery or Mother/Baby unit.
