Job DescriptionSeize a transformative opportunity as a Registered Nurse specializing in Medical-Surgical care, with a dynamic travel assignment anchored in Rochester, New York. This role invites you to blend clinical excellence with compassionate leadership, guiding patients and families through recovery and strengthening the care continuum. Beginning January 20, 2026, this assignment offers several weeks of rewarding, hands-on experience in a fast-paced Med Surg environment, with options to extend based on mutual interest and performance. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll discover the beauty of upstate New York—worlds apart from the hustle of big cities—where river valleys, parks, and cultural treasures create a welcoming backdrop for professional and personal growth. Picture mornings greeting you with the glow of lakeside sunsets, afternoons exploring thriving neighborhoods, and weekends in the Finger Lakes wine country or along Lake Ontario’s sparkling shore. This is a place where your clinical impact meets a lifestyle that invites curiosity, balance, and renewal. Location Benefits: Rochester blends a robust healthcare ecosystem with a respectful cost of living, accessible transit, and a vibrant, collaborative community. You’ll work within established medical-surgical units that emphasize patient-centered care, continuous improvement, and evidence-based practice. The region’s diverse patient population provides rich clinical exposure—from general medicine to complex post-surgical cases—facilitating rapid skill advancement and confidence. Rochester’s cultural richness—from world-class museums to live music, theater, and a thriving culinary scene—offers ample opportunities to recharge after shifts. The surrounding Finger Lakes region invites weekend explorations—scenic vineyards, waterfalls, state parks, and outdoor adventures—that contribute to a well-rounded lifestyle. For those seeking broader horizons, this program offers the possibility of assignments at partner facilities across the United States, expanding professional networks, cross-cultural clinical insights, and resume-building experiences while preserving the stability and support of a centralized travel program. Expect competitive weekly pay within the range and housing assistance designed to help you settle quickly and focus on clinical excellence. Role Specifics and Benefits: Key responsibilities on the Med Surg unit include comprehensive patient assessment, timely monitoring of vitals, medication administration with high safety standards, IV therapy, wound care, and coordination of care plans with physicians, therapists, and case managers. You’ll contribute to postoperative recovery efforts, assist with discharge planning, and provide patient and family education to promote understanding and engagement in the healing process. Documentation in electronic health records will be precise and timely, with thorough handoffs during shift changes to maintain continuity of care. This role offers clear pathways for professional growth in telemetry, complex home care planning, palliative care principles, and evidence-based practice. The position also emphasizes teamwork, leadership, and clinical mentorship, empowering you to elevate outcomes and influence care quality across the unit. Benefits include a competitive weekly pay range of $2,065 to $2,165, along with housing assistance to simplify relocation and shorten onboarding. Extension opportunities are available based on performance and unit demand, providing a path to longer-term travel assignments or permanent roles. A travel bonus structure may apply, and you’ll have access to ongoing clinical education opportunities and specialty certifications that support career advancement. Comprehensive support is provided with 24/7 assistance from dedicated travel specialists, streamlined credentialing support, orientation programs, and continuous access to clinical and administrative resources to resolve issues promptly. You’ll also benefit from a robust onboarding experience, shift flexibility, and a culture that prioritizes nurse well-being and professional development.
