Contracted
Calais Community Hospital
Mid Level
Seize a high-impact opportunity as an ER Registered Nurse in Calais, Maine, starting March 23, 2026, for a multi-week assignment that challenges your clinical precision, your leadership in fast-moving situations, and your unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. In the ER, every moment counts and every decision you make can alter a patient’s trajectory. You will triage, stabilize, and coordinate care in a setting that demands clear communication, rapid assessment, and compassionate support for patients and their families. This role invites you to push the boundaries of your expertise, grow your professional toolkit, and contribute to a community that relies on your presence during moments of need. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll notice how your work connects with a region known for resilience, resourcefulness, and a shared sense of purpose that elevates the care experience for all.
Separately, Maine’s beauty stands as a reminder of why this work matters. Calais sits along the striking Atlantic coastline, where lighthouses punctuate the horizon, seafood shacks offer farm-to-table freshness, and the air carries the salt and pine of coastal forests. The state’s landscapes—from rugged shoreline strolls to scenic byways and abundant outdoor adventures—create an environment that refreshes the spirit after demanding shifts. The opportunity to care for neighbors in a place where the community is close-knit and supportive is matched by the invitation to explore the natural splendor of coastal Maine, all while advancing your nursing career.
Location Benefits: Calais presents a welcoming, small-town setting with all the essential resources of a modern ER, where teamwork and adaptability are valued every shift. You’ll experience a pace that sharpens your clinical instincts while offering opportunities to build long-lasting professional relationships within the local healthcare network. For those who enjoy variety, the program also provides potential exposure to additional locations across the U.S., expanding your horizons, enriching your skill set, and offering the chance to encounter diverse patient populations, new protocols, and different collaborative dynamics. In Maine, you’ll benefit from a supportive community environment, streamlined access to regional services, and the chance to enjoy coastal living, seasonal events, accessible outdoor recreation, and a quality-of-life that complements the demands of critical care nursing. The combination of a stable regional assignment with the possibility of broader travel opportunities delivers both consistency and growth, with the chance to rotate through facilities that require nimble clinical judgment and strong interprofessional collaboration.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an ER RN, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering rapid assessments, initiating life-saving interventions, and coordinating with physicians, techs, and support staff to restore stability for patients presenting with a wide range of emergencies. Your responsibilities will include initial triage, airway management, hemodynamic monitoring, IV therapy, wound care, medication administration, and patient and family education. You’ll document meticulously in electronic health records, communicate clearly during handoffs, and participate in ongoing quality improvement initiatives. This position supports professional growth within the emergency specialty through structured mentorship, cross-training opportunities, and exposure to trauma, pediatrics, and acute care pathways. The package includes competitive compensation with a weekly range of $1,920 to $1,974, reflecting the level of responsibility and the state-specific market. You’ll receive housing assistance to ease logistics of travel, a potential sign-on or retention bonus, and extension opportunities should you wish to continue contributing your expertise beyond the initial assignment. The role also features comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our travel and clinical support teams, ensuring you have trusted help whenever you need it while you’re on assignment. In addition, you’ll have access to continuing education resources, shift variety, and a benefits package designed to support your health, financial security, and retirement planning.
Company Values: Our mission centers on empowering healthcare professionals to advance their careers in a supportive, collaborative environment. We’re committed to recognizing your expertise, investing in your development, and providing a stable platform where you can grow from assignment to assignment. Our culture emphasizes safety, open communication, and professional respect, ensuring you have the resources and encouragement to achieve your best.

This is your chance to make a meaningful impact, expand your practice, and be part of a team that values your contribution from day one.
