What certifications am I required to have for travel Stepdown jobs?
Most require BLS and ACLS. Neuro and stroke step-down postings often list NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) certification, and some cardiac step-down units add a dysrhythmia exam. PCCN, AACN's progressive care certification, is a relevant plus; step-down hours can count toward its practice-hour requirement when they involve direct care of acutely ill adults.
Can I take a travel Stepdown job with ICU or Med Surg experience?
Sometimes. ICU experience often transfers well, while Med Surg or Med Surg/Tele experience may be considered when it includes continuous monitoring, higher-acuity patients, and relevant infusions. The facility determines whether your background matches the unit's acuity and responsibilities.
What kind of units to Stepdown travel nurse assignment cover?
Stepdown units may focus on cardiac, neuro, surgical, trauma, or general medical patients. One unit may regularly manage post-cath patients and cardiac drips, while another may focus on stroke, post-craniotomy, chest tubes, or complex postoperative care. Reviewing the unit’s patient mix and permitted therapies is important
How would you describe Novant Health New Hanover to a travel RN weighing an assignment?
It's a large regional referral hospital and the only trauma center in southeastern coastal North Carolina, so RNs see the region's most serious injuries plus cardiac, women's, and children's cases.
What trauma designation does Novant Health New Hanover hold?
It's an ACS-verified Level II trauma center — the region's only trauma center — treating more than 3,000 trauma patients a year.
What EHR will travel Stepdown nurses use at Novant Health New Hanover?
New Hanover uses Epic for electronic health records and clinical documentation. Nurses who have worked in Epic before should already be familiar with many of the basic charting functions and workflows.

Resources for this Stepdown job in Wilmington

Explore Wilmington, NC

The Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic at Wilmington, NC, a port city whose historic riverfront, string of beach towns, and steady population growth keep the regional hospital market in nearly constant need of travelers. Demand spans emergency, intensive care, and surgical roles. A rental search splits among the walkable historic district, the suburban sprawl, and the beach communities; Wrightsville Beach rentals cost most and deliver mornings on the sand, while inland blocks save real money. The USS North Carolina rides at anchor across the river, the boardwalk strings the downtown waterfront together, and Carolina Beach's boardwalk carnival runs all summer. Film crews still work the city regularly, a local industry quirk that travelers tend to notice within their first few weeks in town.
