The short version
Public postings for this site cluster around three areas — NICU nights, ER travel contracts, and a Progressive Care Unit — with hourly ranges attached but little detail beyond pay.
Employer research, Sep 28, 2026
Progressive Care Unit travel postings have mentioned a sign-on bonus alongside travel differentials and housing stipends, though that listing comes from a social post rather than the employer.
