Ohio State University – Wexner Medical Center — Columbus, OH
Columbus, OH
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center spreads across seven hospitals in Columbus, and for nurses the acuity concentrates in three of them — University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and the freestanding James Cancer Hospital.
- University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and holds central Ohio's only adult burn center and the region's only adult solid-organ transplant program — a base for trauma, burn, and transplant nurses. Read More
- The Ross Heart Hospital is a dedicated cardiac hospital and the Arthur G. James is a freestanding NCI-designated comprehensive cancer hospital, so cardiac and oncology RNs work in purpose-built settings.

- A Level III NICU, a Center for Neuromodulation, and a deep neuroscience program add further specialty tracks.

FAQs – ICU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Columbus, OH
What certifications do travel ICU jobs require?
Most travel ICU jobs require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). Neuro and stroke units commonly add NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and pediatric or mixed units may ask for PALS. The CCRN credential is preferred by many facilities and required by a few.
Will I float on a travel ICU assignment?
It depends on the facility and the contract. ICU travelers may float to PCU, step-down, ER holds, or other critical care areas, while some hospitals limit floating more narrowly. Float expectations are not always visible in the posting, so confirm the policy before accepting an assignment.
What experience is required for travel ICU RN jobs?
Most travel ICU RN jobs require recent critical care experience caring for high-acuity patients and independently managing ventilators, vasoactive drips, sedation, and invasive lines. Some units may also look for experience with CRRT, IABP, Impella, ECMO, or other advanced therapies. Requirements vary by ICU type, so facilities typically want your recent experience to closely match the patient population, devices, and level of care on the assignment.
Can I work this Ohio travel assignment on my compact license?
Yes—an active multistate RN license covers this assignment because Ohio is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. Otherwise, endorsement through the Ohio Board of Nursing adds two Ohio-specific steps: a criminal-records check and two contact hours covering Ohio nursing law and rules. Our Ohio Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
What trauma and specialty designations does OSU Wexner's University Hospital hold?
University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and home to central Ohio's only adult burn center, the only adult solid-organ transplant program in the region, and a Level III NICU.
Is Ohio State Wexner Medical Center a Magnet hospital?
University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and The James are all Magnet-designated, and OSU was the first health system in central Ohio to earn Magnet.

Explore Columbus, OH
Across a sprawling central-Ohio metro, Columbus, OH is shaped by two large systems, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Coverage leans on travelers to staff intensive care units and med-surg floors throughout the area. Openings frequently extend into Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City, which give clinicians practical bases and short commutes into the hospital districts. The metro keeps growing outward, which widens where a traveler can reasonably land. The flat, gridded layout and the I-270 outerbelt keep getting around simple, and after demanding stretches the Short North Arts District and the Scioto Mile trails along the river are close by. Between the academic centers and the community campuses, travelers usually have several contract options across central Ohio.
