In the heart of the Mohawk Valley, you’ll join a dedicated emergency team that thrives on collaboration, rapid decision making, and compassionate patientcentered care. Your hands will steady the course for patients in critical moments, and your guidance will support families navigating uncertainty. This assignment, set to begin on 12/22/2025, runs for several weeks with guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of 2,236 to 2,442 dollars, reflecting the respect this role commands. And for those seeking broader horizons, this program also opens doors to assignments across the United States, letting you expand your professional repertoire while staying rooted in a community you can call home. Beyond the hospital, New York’s beauty awaits—Adirondack vistas, river trails, fall foliage along winding byways, the charm of Utica’s historic neighborhoods, and nearby Finger Lakes scenery offer restful retreats that recharge your energy after demanding shifts. The role invites you to practice with cuttingedge equipment, evidencebased protocols, and a culture of continuous learning that honors your experience and encourages you to push your clinical boundaries while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and compassion. Each shift becomes a chance to mentor newer nurses, collaborate with physicians and therapists across disciplines, and advocate for patients and families during some of life’s most challenging moments. As you carry out swift assessments, you’ll balance urgency with empathy, translating data into actions that stabilize, protect, and educate. This is more than a job—it’s a professional home where your expertise is valued, your voice matters, and your growth is a shared priority with a path toward expanded responsibilities and leadership over time.
Location benefits: Utica offers a supportive network of colleagues, access to modern ER equipment, and close ties to area EMS partners, enabling seamless patient flow and critical collaboration. The opportunity to travel to other locations within the country adds variety—from metropolitan hospitals to rural critical access facilities—each presenting unique case mixes and learning opportunities. You’ll gain exposure to diverse protocols, patient populations, and interprofessional teams, all while enjoying the safety net of a stable contract, predictable hours, and the comfort of a city with a strong sense of community, good restaurants, cultural events, and excellent outdoor recreation. Utica’s cost of living remains favorable, making housing and daily life manageable while you schedule time to explore nearby nature preserves, historic sites, theatres, and familyfriendly venues. For nurses who relish variety, the program’s design includes potential rotations to different U.S. sites, expanding your clinical repertoire, strengthening your resume, and building a broad network of mentors and peers who share your commitment to excellence. When you’re off duty, you can discover state parks, scenic drives along the Adirondacks, and seasonal farmers markets that showcase the region’s spirit, all while knowing you return to a stable, welcoming base that respects your professional needs.
Role specifics and benefits: As an ER RN on this assignment, you will lead triage, rapid assessment, stabilization, and ongoing monitoring of acutely ill or injured patients. You’ll administer medications, initiate resuscitation protocols, support invasive procedures under physician direction, and coordinate with physicians, specialists, and ancillary staff to ensure timely, evidencebased care. You’ll document thoroughly and communicate clearly with families, providing education on discharge planning, pain management, and safety after discharge. The role offers clear pathways for growth within the emergency specialty—from advanced trauma care to charge nurse responsibilities—supported by structured training, certifications, and structured performance feedback. Your dayto-day duties include clinical leadership at the bedside, prioritizing patient flow during highvolume periods, guiding student nurses and new hires on proper procedures, and advocating for patient rights and comfort at every touchpoint. You’ll engage in infection control practices, participate in debriefings after critical events, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives aimed at reducing wait times, improving pain control, and enhancing patient satisfaction scores. Benefits include a competitive signon bonus, robust housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions based on unit needs and your performance. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel care team available 24/7, including onboarding, scheduling, credentialing, and personal assistance to smooth every transition while you’re traveling with the company. Additional professional development opportunities—such as simulation training, certifications in critical care or trauma, and mentorship programs—are available to accelerate your advancement while ensuring you maintain balance between clinical intensity and personal well-being.
