Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job

Step into the rewarding world of Med Surg nursing as a Registered Nurse in Utica, New York, and bring your expertise to a unit that blends clinical diversity with compassionate, patient‑centered care. This assignment invites you to leverage your Med Surg prowess—managing a spectrum of medical and post‑operative needs—while growing your professional footprint in a supportive, fast‑paced environment. Beginning December 22, 2025, you’ll join a dedicated team for a multiweek engagement with a guaranteed 36 hours per week, ensuring predictability in your schedule and your practice. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $2,157 to $2,351, paired with an efficient onboarding process designed to respect your background and accelerate your integration into the unit. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will center on accurate patient assessment, timely administration of medications and IV therapies, wound and drainage care, catheter management when indicated, and telemetry oversight as needed. You’ll perform routine and complex procedures with precision, including phlebotomy as required, blood product administration when appropriate, and rapid response during clinical changes. Documentation in the electronic health record will be meticulous, reflecting nursing judgments, care plans, and patient education efforts. You’ll lead clear, compassionate education for patients and families, explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and post‑discharge plans to optimize outcomes and reduce readmission risk. You’ll participate in daily rounds, contribute to multidisciplinary care conferences, and collaborate with physicians, therapists, social workers, and case managers to coordinate discharge planning. The role offers continual opportunities to expand hands‑on skills—advanced monitoring, infusion therapy, and post‑op recovery techniques—while also cultivating leadership capabilities through mentorship of students and junior staff. If your path includes specialty certifications, quality improvement projects, or clinical leadership, this assignment is structured to support you in achieving those milestones.

Beyond the unit, the beauty and culture of upstate New York await your exploration. Utica sits in the Mohawk Valley, where four distinct seasons paint landscapes of winding river trails, apple orchards in bloom, and serene Adirondack‑influenced vistas within reach. The region is known for its welcoming communities, thriving arts scene, and diverse culinary offerings that highlight farm‑to‑table experiences. Whether you crave a peaceful walk along historic streets, a weekend escape to nearby lakes, or evenings at a concert hall or theater, you’ll discover opportunities to recharge between shifts. The chance to experience New York’s rich heritage and natural beauty adds a season of inspiration to your professional journey, enhancing both balance and motivation as you deliver excellent patient care.
