Step into a vital role as a Registered Nurse in the PCU, where every shift centers on guiding patients through a crucial transition and delivering care with precision, empathy, and clinical excellence. This multi-week travel assignment kicks off on 05/18/2026 in Burlington, Vermont, inviting you to bring your PCU expertise to a team that values continuity of care, patient education, and collaborative problem solving. As you step onto the unit, you’ll have the chance to sharpen telemetry interpretation, refine acute-to-progressive care skills, and contribute to safe discharges that set patients on the road to recovery. Beyond the work itself, you’ll experience Vermont’s distinctive charm—a state celebrated for its pristine landscapes, friendly communities, and a quality of life that blends outdoor adventure with a robust, welcoming culture. Burlington sits along sparkling Lake Champlain, offering sunsets over the water, vibrant farmers’ markets, and a thriving downtown that pairs small-town warmth with big-city access. For those who crave variety, this program also opens doors to additional U.S. locations through later assignments, giving you a broader platform to grow while maintaining the comforts of a trusted support system.

Location benefits go far beyond the unit doors. Burlington puts you in a lively, picturesque setting where you can enjoy four-season recreation—from hiking and biking along scenic trails to wintertime skiing and cozy evenings by the lake. The city is known for its strong sense of community, accessible healthcare, and a dynamic dining and arts scene that makes every weekend feel rewarding. Vermont’s safety, clean environment, and emphasis on employee well-being create an ideal backdrop for focused clinical practice and personal balance. And because this is a travel opportunity designed with flexibility in mind, you can anticipate housing assistance designed to ease transitions, along with onboarding resources that help you settle quickly, whether you’re new to the state or returning to the region.

Role specifics and benefits are tailored to maximize your impact and your professional growth. As a PCU RN, you’ll manage intermediate-to-acute patients who require careful monitoring, timely interventions, and effective coordination with physicians, case managers, and therapists. Your responsibilities span comprehensive assessments, critical telemetry interpretation, IV therapy oversight, symptom management, rapid response collaboration, and precise documentation to support optimal outcomes. You’ll lead patient and family education on disease processes, post-ICU or post-ED trajectories, and prevention strategies, while contributing to care plans that emphasize comfort, safety, and progression toward stabilization. The role invites you to build depth in cardiopulmonary care, post-surgical monitoring, and nuanced discharge readiness. In return, you’ll participate in a program that values growth—access to specialty mentoring, opportunities to engage in quality improvement initiatives, and exposure to diverse clinical scenarios that enrich your resume. The package includes a competitive weekly pay range of $2,389-$2,475, a sign-on style bonus, and housing assistance to support your travel life. You’ll also have the chance for contract extensions that align with your goals, offering continuity and the ability to deepen your expertise in PCU settings. The arrangement comes with 24/7 support from our dedicated travel team, ensuring you have reliable help on payroll questions, credentialing steps, shift changes, or urgent needs while you’re on assignment. Expect thorough onboarding, credentialing guidance, and a culture that prioritizes clinical autonomy paired with collaborative teamwork.

Company values are expressed through our unwavering commitment to empowering staff, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive work environment. We recognize the expertise you bring and encourage ongoing education, leadership development, and opportunities to contribute beyond your unit—whether through clinical education sessions, peer mentorship, or involvement in patient safety and process improvement initiatives. Our teams celebrate achievement and resilience, fostering a culture where you can voice ideas, share learning, and grow within a network that respects work–life balance. By partnering with us, you join a community that believes your clinical judgment matters, your professional voice matters, and your well-being matters just as much as patient outcomes.
