The city

More about DTN Staffing
Charting is Epic. Before you start you need a Minnesota license, BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, and six months of experience — there is no residency. The taxable rate on that ICU travel job is $53 an hour, $79.50 overtime. Each week they also list $280 non-taxable for meals and $490 for lodging. At 36 hours the ad estimates about $2,678 gross. Local rates on the same posting run $60–$65 an hour. Checks come weekly. DTN says a housing list is available for the area. Benefits named on the ad are health, vision, dental, 401(k) matching, an EAP, and a referral bonus. Keep finishing contracts and a tiered RN/LPN retention bonus steps up with consecutive qualifying years; one North Dakota posting also talks about a bonus every quarter. Four Glassdoor reviews would recommend DTN and put the company around 4.5, with compensation and senior management near 4.6. Work-life balance is 2.8. That is a thin sample, and it is the number you should sit with before you apply.

Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
