Job DescriptionStep into a life‑changing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, stationed in Utica, New York, with a weeks‑long assignment that begins on December 29, 2025. In this role, you’ll deliver compassionate, evidence‑based medical and surgical care to adults experiencing a wide range of acute conditions. You’ll assess, monitor, and respond to patient needs, administer medications with precision, manage IV therapies, care for wounds, and coordinate timely care transitions. You’ll partner with physicians, therapists, case managers, and fellow nurses to create individualized care plans that emphasize safety, comfort, and dignity. Each shift is an invitation to lead through clinical judgment, reinforce best practices, and mentor teammates who share your commitment to excellence. Your daily work will help patients regain function, reduce complications, and return home stronger. The impact you make will extend beyond the bedside, shaping a culture of healing, respect, and continuous learning. And as you care for others, you’ll also have the chance to broaden your own clinical horizons—expanding med‑surgical competencies, refining critical thinking, and strengthening communication across disciplines. Additionally, you’ll be part of a team that values your voice in care decisions, quality improvement projects, and patient education initiatives. This is more than a job; it’s a pathway to deepen your expertise while advancing a meaningful nursing career. And when you’re off duty, you’ll discover why New York is beloved for its contrasting seasons, historic towns, and vibrant arts scenes. Utica presents a compelling blend of community warmth, affordable living, and convenient access to larger hubs. Enjoy a supportive, close‑knit setting with easy commutes, a manageable cost of living, and a rich local culture that includes historic architecture, seasonal festivals, farmers’ markets, and a growing dining scene. The surrounding region offers outdoor adventures just a short drive away—from riverfront trails and Mohawk Valley parks to nearby Adirondack foothills and Finger Lakes day trips. For travel nurses who aspire to broaden their professional footprint, this program also opens doors to placements at partner facilities across the United States, allowing you to experience diverse hospital cultures while maintaining the safeguarding support of a unified travel team. Working in Utica means you’ll be embedded in a community that values robust teamwork, patient‑centered care, and work‑life balance, with access to continuing education resources and mentorship that help you grow in your specialty. In this role, you’ll own key responsibilities that are central to Med Surg practice. You’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor evolving conditions, and respond to clinical changes with swift, evidence‑based interventions. You’ll administer medications, manage IV therapies, and monitor labs and telemetry as needed, while maintaining meticulous documentation and adherence to safety protocols. You’ll lead discharge planning conversations, coordinate with social work for post‑acute care, and educate patients and families on disease processes, medications, and when to seek care. You’ll participate in daily rounds, contribute to care planning, and collaborate with interprofessional teams to optimize throughput and patient satisfaction. The role also offers pathways for professional growth, including exposure to a broad spectrum of medical‑surgical conditions, opportunities to participate in quality improvement initiatives, and access to specialty trainings that expand your scope—whether that means more advanced wound care, post‑op management, or transition to leadership tracks as you gain experience. The program emphasizes mentorship and development, supporting you with structured onboarding, case reviews, and ongoing feedback to help you attain your career goals. Competitive benefits accompany the clinical work: a generous weekly pay range of $2,152 to $2,325, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, plus incentives for performance that recognize your dedication and skill. You’ll also receive housing assistance to ease relocation, and there are extension opportunities that let you continue to grow with the same team or explore new assignments. Importantly, you’ll have 24/7 support from our traveling nurse program, ensuring you’re never navigating a demanding assignment alone—whether you require clinical guidance, scheduling changes, or help with housing and logistics.
