Please note – although a “pre-employment” health screen packet will be emailed to you, all UCH Traveler RNs will need to complete a “face-to-face” health screen and drug test with our nurse practitioner. UCH Travelers will also need to take the dysrhythmia exam and are allowed to take it remotely. The exams must be passed within 2 attempts before beginning employment. The deadline to complete the health screen and exams are on the Wednesdays at noon before start date.
