Introduction
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Utica, New York, where expert nursing meets compassionate care in a dynamic travel assignment. You’ll partner with dedicated teams to support patients across the med-surg spectrum—from acute stabilization to education for discharge—and you’ll be empowered to shape positive outcomes with every shift. Your clinical judgment, meticulous assessments, and patient-centered communication will help families navigate complex decisions with confidence. This is your opportunity to grow within a high-volume environment while contributing to care that truly matters. Beyond the hospital walls, upstate New York offers a wealth of beauty and culture: the Mohawk Valley’s historic charm, easy access to Adirondack destinations, and nearby lakes and rivers that invite relaxation after demanding days. The state’s scenic byways and vibrant communities make this assignment not just a job, but a meaningful experience. The start date is April 13, 2026, for a weeks-long term with guaranteed hours, and you’ll have the chance to explore extensions and opportunities at other locations across the U.S. as you advance.
Location Benefits
Utica sits in the heart of upstate New York, offering a welcoming community with a lower cost of living, shorter commutes, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. You’ll find comfortable housing options and a supportive local network to help you settle in quickly. Living here means easy access to outdoor recreation, from riverside strolls to nearby parks, plus a thriving downtown with cultural events, farmers markets, and a growing culinary scene. For those who crave variety, this role also opens doors to opportunities at partner facilities in other locations across the United States, allowing you to broaden clinical exposure, expand your professional network, and build a versatile resume—all while maintaining the stability of a guaranteed 36 hours per week during your assignment. Utica’s central location makes weekend getaways feasible, whether you’re exploring the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes region, or historical sites along the Mohawk River.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As a Med Surg RN on a travel assignment, you’ll play a critical role in delivering dependable, evidence-based care. Key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive patient assessments, implementing individualized care plans, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and managing IV therapies and wound care. You’ll coordinate discharge planning, provide patient and family education, and collaborate with physicians, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, efficient handoffs. This role is designed for growth: you’ll have access to ongoing education, mentorship from seasoned nurses, and opportunities to expand your skill set with certifications in med-surg core competencies, pain management, infection control, and evidence-based protocols. The position offers competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,186-$2,281, with guaranteed hours at 36 per week, and the potential for contract extensions based on performance and facility needs. In addition to compensation, you’ll receive housing assistance to ease relocation, a bonus eligibility pathway for performance and referrals, and the security of 24/7 support from a dedicated clinical and travel team while you’re on assignment. Our travel program emphasizes comprehensive onboarding, continuous guidance, and prompt troubleshooting, so you can focus on patient care with confidence.
