Labor and Delivery Travel Nurse Jobs in Ohio

Ohio's current hospital-licensure framework in Chapter 3701-22 defines Level I through Level IV obstetric services. Rule 3701-22-22 requires a Level II service to transfer an intrapartum patient at less than 32 weeks gestation, or when the fetus is expected to weigh less than 1,500 grams, unless the emergency exception applies. That makes the hospital's licensed level a core assignment question. Ask which high-risk conditions the unit accepts, where transfers go, and who manages stabilization when delivery is too close for safe movement. Confirm whether the traveler covers antepartum monitoring, operative preparation, newborn stabilization, and transfer documentation. The written rule sets the clinical boundary; the manager interview should explain staffing, consultation, and handoff inside that boundary on nights, weekends, and urgent admissions.
