URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Answering the call to compassionate, high-stakes care, this LTAC Registered Nurse opportunity in Rochester, New York invites you to lead complex patient journeys with skill, empathy, and unwavering clinical excellence. As a dedicated LTAC nurse, you’ll be at the forefront of care for individuals emerging from critical illness, orchestrating intricate treatment plans, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and guiding families with education and reassurance. This contract begins on 04/13/2026, spans multiple weeks, and offers a competitive weekly compensation in the range of $1,828 to $1,931, with flexible scheduling designed to maximize patient outcomes while supporting your professional rhythm. You’ll practice in a setting that honors precision, accountability, and the power of restorative care, all within a city renowned for culture, innovation, and community spirit. And while you focus on clinical excellence, you’ll also savor the beauty of New York state—from the scenic shoreline views and vibrant arts scene in Rochester to the tranquil parks and seasonal charm that make this region uniquely welcoming.
Location benefits begin with Rochester’s exceptional quality of life, where you’ll find affordable housing options, a robust healthcare ecosystem, and a friendly, supportive community that values teamwork. The city blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering wonderful dining, museums, and outdoor spaces along the Genesee River. For those who crave variety, this opportunity also opens doors to assignments at partner facilities across the United States, letting you broaden your clinical horizons while maintaining the stability of a trusted network. Whether you’re settling in for a long stretch in upstate New York or exploring other regions, you’ll enjoy comprehensive onboarding, orientation, and ongoing clinical support. In addition, you’ll have access to resources that help you balance professional duties with personal well-being, so you can recharge after challenging shifts and return to your patients with renewed energy. And as you rotate through different facilities, you’ll build a diverse portfolio of LTAC experiences that elevate your resume and unlock future leadership possibilities.
In this role, you’ll own critical responsibilities that define LTAC nursing: conducting thorough assessments of patients with complex needs; monitoring ventilator status and respiratory therapies; managing tracheostomies, weaning protocols, wound care, IV therapy, and central line maintenance; administering medications with meticulous charting and safety checks; leading interdisciplinary rounds and translating goals of care into actionable plans; coordinating transitions to step-down units or home-based care; and educating families to empower informed decision-making. Your clinical impact extends beyond bedside care to quality improvement, evidence-based practice, and patient advocacy. You’ll cultivate proficient care teams by mentoring new staff, guiding nurses in best practices for LTAC care, and contributing to productive, solution-focused rounds. Growth opportunities are clear: pursue specialty certification, assume charge nurse responsibilities when needed, or participate in program development initiatives that enhance patient outcomes and staff satisfaction. The role also includes a comprehensive benefits ecosystem—an attractive signing bonus, housing assistance or lodging support, and clear extension options so you can plan for continuity or decide on new LTAC adventures across the network. Expect enhanced pay continuity with guaranteed orientation, ongoing education allowances, and access to a wide array of clinical resources. Most importantly, you’ll operate within a culture that values your expertise and your voice in patient care decisions, all while receiving 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team as you navigate multiple facilities.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, elevating career trajectories, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive environment. You’ll join a community that prioritizes mentorship, transparent communication, and collaborative problem solving, ensuring you have the scaffolding to advance your clinical skills and leadership ambitions. You’ll find structured pathways for continuing education and specialty development, regular performance feedback, and opportunities to contribute to policy discussions and program refinement. In this environment, teamwork isn’t just a concept—it’s a practice that sustains you on demanding shifts and inspires you to achieve more for your patients and your own professional growth. The organization understands that travel nursing is a partnership, and it commits to reliable logistical and clinical support, comprehensive safety programs, and resources that help you thrive wherever your assignments take you.
If you’re ready to bring your LTAC expertise to a role that rewards clinical excellence, compassionate care, and continuous learning, this is the opportunity to apply.
