Mid Level
Take the next bold step in your nursing career as a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Medical-Surgical care. Based in Rochester, New York, this Med Surg opportunity invites you to deliver compassionate, high-quality patient care while you deepen your clinical skills in a dynamic hospital setting. As you collaborate with registered nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals, you’ll become a pivotal part of a team that supports patients through recovery, acute episodes, and daily wellness goals. Envision the impact you can have on patients’ lives—relieving pain, stabilizing conditions, preparing individuals for discharge, and empowering families with knowledge. While you’re serving the people of Rochester, you’ll also experience all the beauty New York State has to offer: the scenic hues of the Finger Lakes region, the serene Adirondacks, the cultural richness of urban centers, and easy access to weekend getaways along lakes and trails. This is more than a travel assignment; it’s a chance to grow as a clinician while embracing new surroundings and experiences in one of the Northeast’s most iconic states.
Location benefits are a centerpiece of this opportunity. The primary assignment is in Rochester, a city known for its vibrant arts scene, strong healthcare network, and welcoming communities. You’ll enjoy the practicality of working close to home while also benefiting from the potential to rotate to partner facilities across the United States, widening your exposure to diverse case mixes and care models. The experience will sharpen your assessment, documentation, and patient-education skills, and you’ll build a robust med-surg foundation that translates to higher versatility in future roles. In addition to a fulfilling professional life, the region offers seasonal beauty, rich history, and a robust food and culture scene that makes every shift feel more rewarding. For travel clinicians who crave variety, this program provides the flexibility to explore different facilities while maintaining a supported, patient-centered approach to care.
Role specifics and benefits: In this Med Surg role, you’ll assess and monitor patient conditions, administer medications and treatments according to orders, perform routine and complex nursing tasks, and respond to changes in patient status with careful clinical judgment. You’ll participate in care planning, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and engage in patient and family education to promote safety and recovery. The position supports professional growth within the Med Surg specialty, offering exposure to a broad range of diagnoses—from post-operative care to acute medical management—so you can sharpen critical thinking, refine prioritization, and enhance your documentation accuracy. You’ll be part of a comprehensive support system designed for travel clinicians: 24/7 assistance from the company to help with housing, logistics, and on-site needs; access to a generous retention package that includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extensions to align with your career trajectory. The assignment starts on 03/30/2026 and spans multiple weeks, with weekly pay ranging from $1,196 to $1,206, and with flexible scheduling because guaranteed hours are not guaranteed. This setup respects your autonomy while providing a stable framework for professional development, allowing you to tailor your travel nursing experience to your life and goals.
Company values and call to action: Our partner organization is rooted in empowering its staff and fostering a culture of growth, mentorship, and respect. You’ll find a collaborative environment where your clinical judgment is valued, your voice matters in patient care planning, and there are clear pathways to advance within the organization or through extended travel assignments. If you’re ready to elevate your med-surg nursing career, embrace diverse clinical settings, and join a team that prioritizes your development and well-being, apply now. This is your opportunity to contribute meaningfully, learn continuously, and shape the future of patient care in a supportive, dynamic environment.
