Guaranteed
48 hrs/week
Orientation
24 hrs listed, but unit says typically 4–6 shifts
⚠️ Important: The 48-hour guarantee is a major selling point, but I'd verify exactly how Medical Solutions is calculating the guarantee because the contract is listed as 36-hour-style 12-hour shifts but guarantees 48.
Unit Breakdown
This is a fairly high-volume L&D unit.
They follow AWHONN standards:
The 1:1 L&D ratio is a very good selling point.
What They REALLY Need
This isn't a job I'd send to a nurse who only has basic L&D experience.
✅ L&D
✅ Postpartum
✅ C-section circulating
✅ Triage strongly preferred
✅ Drip titration
✅ Fetal monitoring
The traveler will be expected to circulate C-sections in the two ORs.
RNs titrate:
So I'd specifically ask whether the candidate has recent magnesium and Pitocin titration experience.
Certifications — ALL Required
This is a fairly heavy certification requirement:
That last one is particularly important because it is explicitly required.
⚕️ Staffing / Support
This is actually one of the stronger parts of the assignment.
Every shift has:
And importantly:
Charge RN and Resource RN do NOT have patient assignments.
That's a significant positive for a traveler.
There's also:
Very strong:
For L&D, that's a very attractive support structure.
️ Equipment / Documentation
EMR: Epic
EFM: GE Connect
No monitor techs — the RN will need to be comfortable interpreting fetal strips independently.
FLOATING — BIGGEST CATCH
This is probably the biggest thing I'd disclose upfront.
Traveler is first to float.
They can be floated to:
The three L&D locations are reportedly within about 20 minutes of each other.
They say true floating to another location is rare, but it can happen.
So I would not pitch this as "no floating."
I'd say:
"You're first to float, but it's primarily to like-unit L&D locations within the valley. They can also use you as a sitter in MS/ED if needed."
That's much more transparent.
️ Schedule
7p–7a nights
Hospital policy says nurses cannot work more than 5 shifts consecutively.
They'll try to accommodate traveler schedule requests, but there's no formal self-scheduling language here.
Weekend requirements are unit needs, rather than a fixed EOW requirement.
Same with holidays.
This is a major positive:
No call or standby requirement.
Scrubs
Blue scrubs provided by the unit.
Nice little selling point — one less thing for the traveler to worry about.

Traveler Appeal
9/10
1. 48-hour guarantee
That's probably your strongest selling point.
2. No call
Especially attractive to L&D nurses.
3. 1:1 L&D ratios
4. Strong OB support
24/7 OB hospitalist + 24/7 CRNA + neonatal NP.
5. Epic
6. Busy unit
~120 births/month means a traveler should get good L&D volume.
7. Dedicated charge/resource RN
Neither carries an assignment.
#1 — First to float
This is the biggest one.
#2 — Heavy certification requirements
STABLE + NRP + ACLS + AWHONN fetal monitoring is a lot.
#3 — C-section circulating is mandatory
A pure bedside L&D nurse without OR/circulator experience isn't a good fit.
#4 — 48-hour guarantee may mean a demanding schedule
A nurse looking for an easy 36-hour contract probably won't love this.
I'd target a seasoned L&D traveler who has:
2+ years L&D + PP + recent C-section circulating + triage + fetal monitoring + Pitocin/Mag + NRP/ACLS/BLS/STABLE, and who is comfortable floating between L&D units.
"This is one I'd actively recruit for. 48 hours guaranteed, straight nights, no call, 1:1 L&D ratios, Epic, dedicated resource/charge RN, and strong 24/7 OB/anesthesia coverage. The tradeoff is you're first to float, including potentially to Nampa/Boise, and they want someone who can truly function as L&D/PP/circulator rather than someone who only does bedside labor."
Overall: 9/10 job for the right L&D traveler.

Yep — this one is very workable for the right LDRP traveler, but there are a few things I would make sure the nurse understands before submission.
St. Catherine Hospital – Garden City, KS
Specialty: LDRP / L&D
Contract: 9/28/26 – 12/28/26
Length: 13 weeks / 91 days
Positions: 1
Shift:12-hour nights
Schedule: EOW
Guaranteed:36 hrs/week
Call: ⚠️ Potential call requirement
Interview: ✅ MedSol Clinical Team interview
EMR:Epic
Trauma:Level III
BSN: Not required
License: Kansas license required to submit
Radius:60 miles — driver's license must be submitted
This is a 12-room LDRP unit, so the nurse is expected to be comfortable taking patients through the entire OB process.
This is much more of a true LDRP role than a specialized L&D-only position.
The traveler needs to be comfortable with:
Biggest Clinical Requirement
They specifically say:
LDRP experience + couplet care + OR circulating
That's important.
I would not submit someone who only has traditional L&D experience if they haven't worked LDRP/couplets.
✅ L&D
✅ Postpartum
✅ Mother/Baby
✅ Couplet care
✅ Circulating C-sections
✅ Pitocin titration
✅ Fetal monitoring
Only one OR, but the traveler is expected to circulate.
Certifications
The VMS has a little inconsistency between the unit notes and required-certification section.
The unit notes specifically mention BLS, ACLS and NRP, while the required certification section adds Intermediate Fetal Monitoring.
I'd treat Intermediate Fetal Monitoring as required unless Medical Solutions tells you otherwise.
⚕️ Staffing / Support
This is where I'd have a little more caution.
Unlike some of the stronger L&D jobs you've sent me, this unit's charge RN typically has patients.
There is:
So this isn't an overly resource-heavy OB department.
That's not necessarily bad — just means you're looking for a very independent LDRP nurse.
Drips
RNs titrate:
That's the primary titratable medication listed.
No major list of multiple drips like some larger/high-risk OB centers.
️ Monitoring / EMR
Epic
Fetal monitoring:
GE + OBIX
The nurse is expected to perform fetal monitoring.
Schedule
12-hour nights
EOW
The nice thing is they allow some flexibility after filling the immediate holes:
Shifts can potentially be grouped/block scheduled or separated depending on preference.
That's something I'd use as a selling point with a nurse who likes clustered shifts.
No holiday requirement listed.
That's another nice perk.
A Recruiter Who Works For You My name is Sean, and I’m a U.S.-based travel nurse recruiter here in Denver, Colorado.
