Step into a purpose-driven role as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg, bringing skilled, compassionate care to patients while expanding your horizons across the country. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to elevate your clinical practice, mentor peers, and contribute to well-coordinated, patient-centered care on a dynamic, fast-paced floor. Begin your assignment on 12/15/2025 for a weeks-long engagement that values your expertise and respects your need for flexibility. You’ll earn competitive weekly compensation of $2,148 to $2,208, with the freedom that comes from a position that emphasizes quality over rigidity. While hours aren’t guaranteed, your skillset will be matched to patient needs, enabling you to deliver meaningful care while maintaining professional balance and personal well-being.
Rochester, New York, sits at the heart of the state’s rich history and vibrant culture, offering a stimulating backdrop for your Med Surg journey. The city blends renowned medical centers with a bustling arts scene, abundant parks, and waterfront views along Lake Ontario. When you’re not on shift, you can explore eclectic neighborhoods, stroll historic districts, or take in world-class museums. Beyond Rochester, you’ll have access to opportunities to work across the U.S., embracing a broad spectrum of hospital environments—from high-acuity academic centers to community hospitals—each presenting unique patient populations, protocols, and teamwork dynamics. This diversity not only sharpens clinical judgment but also broadens your professional network and resilience as a nurse who can adapt to varying care standards with confidence.
In the Med Surg role, you’ll provide comprehensive, patient-centered care across medical and surgical units, supporting adults and seniors through a range of conditions. Your responsibilities include accurate patient assessments, vital sign monitoring, timely administration of medications and therapies, IV management, wound care, post-operative monitoring, and discharge planning. You’ll partner with physicians, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement thoughtful care plans, ensuring smooth transitions from admission to discharge. Documentation will reflect best practices in electronic health records, with careful attention to accuracy, privacy, and regulatory compliance. You’ll educate patients and families on disease processes, treatment options, recovery expectations, and safety precautions, empowering them to participate actively in their care. Because Med Surg patients often present with comorbidities, your critical thinking, prioritization, and teamwork will be essential as you triage, escalate when needed, and advocate for appropriate resources. This assignment offers the chance to broaden clinical proficiency, including management of post-surgical pain, infection prevention, wound monitoring, fluid balance, and early mobility strategies that accelerate recovery. You’ll also gain exposure to varied case mixes, enhancing your ability to respond to fluctuating acuity with calm, confident leadership on the unit.
Why this opportunity stands out goes beyond the patient room. The position includes a bonus structure designed to recognize your commitment and performance, along with housing assistance to ease transition logistics and reduce out-of-pocket costs during your travel period. You’ll have access to extension opportunities should you enjoy the team and the environment, with the potential to renew or transfer to another facility that aligns with your evolving clinical interests and life plans. Travel nursing support is robust, with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated program team to address scheduling changes, credentialing questions, or on-the-ground needs while you’re on assignment. This comprehensive support ensures you stay focused on delivering excellent patient care while your employer handles the operational details—licensure, housing, travel logistics, and onboarding—with clear communication and timely responses.
The company behind this assignment is built on a commitment to empowering its nursing staff. You’ll be welcomed into a culture that prioritizes professional development, mentorship, and career advancement. Expect ongoing access to clinical resources, continuing education opportunities, and leadership pathways that recognize your achievements and expand your scope of practice. The environment emphasizes collaboration, respect, and psychological safety, so you can voice ideas, seek feedback, and contribute to process improvements that elevate patient outcomes. You’ll be part of a team that values resilience, adaptability, and a patient-first mindset, with leadership that supports your autonomy and growth while providing the structure you need to thrive.
