Job DescriptionStep into a pivotal ICU nursing role in Watertown, New York, where your clinical expertise becomes a lifeline for critically ill patients and a steady beacon for families navigating uncertainty. As an ICU Registered Nurse on our specialized travel program, you’ll deliver high acuity care with compassion, precision, and leadership, making an immediate impact on patient outcomes while embracing the opportunity to explore diverse settings across the United States. This position blends rigorous clinical responsibility with the chance to broaden your professional horizons, all within a community that values your skills, dedication, and integrity. And when you need a moment to recharge, you’ll appreciate the beauty of upstate New York—the rolling valleys, the river towns, the vibrant fall colors, and the easy access to outdoor adventures that invite balance after demanding shifts. Beyond Watertown, New York’s immediate appeal lies in its mix of small-city warmth and regional access. Watertown offers streamlined commutes, excellent local amenities, and proximity to outdoor recreation along the St. Lawrence River and in nearby Adirondack landscapes. The state’s scenic beauty is matched by its rich cultural scenes, historic neighborhoods, and a welcoming, collaborative healthcare environment. For clinicians who love variety, there’s also the option to work in multiple locations across the U.S., gaining exposure to diverse patient populations, hospital cultures, and clinical protocols that sharpen your clinical judgment and broaden your professional portfolio. Role specifics and benefits come together to support your success. As an ICU RN on contract, you’ll lead and participate in admission evaluations, continuous patient monitoring, and complex care plans for critically ill adults. You’ll manage ventilator care, invasive lines, hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive medications, and rapid response to emergencies, all while adhering to evidence‑based protocols for sepsis, delirium management, pain/sedation assessment, and mobility optimization. You’ll collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, and bedside teams to drive timely, patient‑centered decisions. Your leadership will extend to mentoring less experienced staff, contributing to unit rounds, and advocating for best practices that elevate patient safety and family engagement. This role offers ongoing professional growth within the ICU specialty, with access to specialty certifications, targeted continuing education, and pathways toward leadership or advanced practice opportunities. You’ll also gain competitive, developer‑friendly benefits. The position offers a weekly pay range of $2,418 to $2,570, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, reflecting stability in a demanding clinical environment. In addition to competitive compensation, you may be eligible for a sign-on or completion bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and extension opportunities that let you tailor your assignment length to your personal goals. We’re committed to reducing barriers to success by providing housing support, credentialing assistance, and streamlined onboarding so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care from day one. You’ll benefit from robust travel and shift support, a 24/7 dedicated assistance team, and administrative help designed to reduce stress and keep you focused on clinical excellence. The result is a seamless travel experience that respects your expertise and your time. Company values center on empowerment, collaboration, and career advancement. Our culture is built on recognizing and unlocking your potential, offering mentorship, structured growth plans, and transparent communication. We’re dedicated to creating a supportive work environment where you can deepen your ICU practice, acquire new skills, and build lasting professional relationships.
