Job DescriptionEmbark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Progressive Care Unit (PCU), with an exciting opportunity in Utica, New York, and the flexibility to grow through assignments across diverse locations in the United States. This role invites compassionate, detail‑oriented professionals who thrive in fast‑paced, high‑touch environments to make a meaningful impact on patient recovery and family experience. In the heart of New York’s Mohawk Valley, you’ll join a team that values expertise, empathy, and continuous learning, delivering high‑quality care to adults transitioning from acute care to more stable conditions. As you consider this opportunity, imagine the beauty of the region: serene river walks along the Mohawk, the scenic Adirondack foothills within reach, vibrant local culture, and a community that appreciates the essential work you do every day. And beyond Utica, the program offers the chance to bring your skills to varied settings across the country, expanding your clinical horizon while maintaining a steady rhythm of support and professional growth. Location benefits begin with Utica’s welcoming environment and strong healthcare community, where relationships matter and collaboration is at the core of patient care. Utica offers convenient access to cultural attractions, outdoor recreation, and a more relaxed pace that supports thoughtful nursing practice. The role also provides the possibility of serving in multiple locations across the United States, enabling you to experience a spectrum of hospital cultures, patient populations, and clinical challenges. You’ll benefit from a network of colleagues and mentors, opportunities to learn new disease processes, and exposure to evolving practice standards, all while enjoying the local advantages of New York’s historic neighborhoods, nearby lakes, and regional dining and arts scenes. Role specifics and benefits start with a clear conduit for professional growth: as a PCU RN, you’ll manage intermediate‑to‑high acuity medical patients who require continuous monitoring, telemetry, and timely clinical decision making. You’ll assess complex caseloads, interpret evolving vital signs, administer medications, manage IV therapies, and collaborate with physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation teams to coordinate individualized care plans. Your daily responsibilities will include patient and family education, transition planning, and proactive discharge readiness, ensuring a smooth handoff to home or to next level of care. In this role you’ll refine critical thinking, refine telemetry interpretation, and sharpen interdisciplinary communication, positioning you for advancement into specialty certification tracks, leadership pathways, or expanded clinical responsibilities. The position emphasizes the breadth of PCU practice—balancing the nuanced needs of patients who no longer require intensive care with the ongoing vigilance that high‑acuity patients demand. It’s an ideal platform to broaden your skill set, expand your scope of practice, and contribute to a team that values clinical excellence and compassionate nursing. Compensation and incentives are designed to attract top RN talent: weekly pay ranges from $2,394 to $2,491, with guaranteed 36 hours per week to provide stability and predictability in your schedule. The contract framework includes a competitive package with a sign‑on bonus where eligible, recognizing your expertise and commitment. Housing assistance is available to ease transitions for travel nurses, and there are extension opportunities that allow you to lengthen your assignment if you enjoy the setting and the team you’ve joined. The program also delivers robust travel support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team, ensuring you have immediate access to resources and guidance whenever you need them. Whether you’re navigating shift changes, coordinating with a patient’s family, or planning ongoing professional development, you’ll have dependable backup and real‑time help. Our company values center on empowering staff to advance their careers while fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment. You’ll find mentors and peers who celebrate achievements, share best practices, and collaborate toward common patient‑centered goals. Training opportunities, access to clinical education resources, and leadership pathways are emphasized, so you can build a sustainable, satisfying career in nursing. The culture prioritizes work‑life balance, respect, and transparent communication, all of which support your long‑term professional trajectory and well‑being. Call to action: if you’re a motivated RN ready to contribute to high‑quality PCU care and to grow within a dynamic network of healthcare professionals, apply today. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to join a company that values your expertise, respects your perspective, and invests in your development. Bring your patient‑first approach to a role that challenges you, supports you, and opens doors to new experiences across the country. Start 01/05/2026 and make a lasting impact in Utica, New York, while enjoying the broader opportunities a national travel program provides.
