hot jobs



NICU contracts, especially at higher levels, can disappear quickly. These are the “hot” NICU jobs I’m tracking right now, chosen for pay, location, and traveler experiences.


Reminder: if you want to finish before the holidays so you can take some time off - you need to start your 13 week assignment by Sep 22!
