In a critical care ICU at LVH-Pocono, you will experience:

• 12 shifts per month of coverage.
  • Typical shifts are 12 hours currently; however, the team works well together and has a lot of flexibility with the schedule and could consider 8- or 10-hour shifts.
  • Providers typically work 3 or 4 days consecutively.
• Must be flexible for day vs night coverage.
  • Providers will work day shifts initially and work closely with the physicians for training.
  • Team works together to ensure even rotation of weekends and holidays.
  • Providers always can pick up additional shifts for moonlighting monies.
• Call is taken by physicians only.
• Providers will take part in procedures and should have familiarity but will also be trained by the Lehigh Valley Physician team. These procedures may include:
