Syracuse, NY
Contracted
SUNY Upstate University Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Case Management in Syracuse, New York, with a start date of March 14, 2026. This is more than a assignment—it’s a chance to shape meaningful patient journeys, coordinate care across multidisciplinary teams, and guide individuals and families through complex transitions from hospital to home or to appropriate community-based settings. You’ll assess needs, map resources, and develop care plans that reduce readmissions, improve outcomes, and honor patient preferences. In this role you’ll combine clinical expertise with compassionate advocacy, translating medical realities into practical steps that families can understand and act on. The opportunity shines in Upstate New York’s vibrant communities, where you’ll enjoy a balanced lifestyle, welcoming neighborhoods, and access to a diverse range of cultural and recreational experiences. From the energy of city life to the serenity of nearby natural wonders, this location positions you to grow professionally while embracing the beauty and pace of the state. And because we value breadth of experience, you’ll also have the option to extend your impact across the United States, with the possibility to work in additional locations as needs arise, broadening your professional horizon while maintaining the stability of a travel-enabled specialty role.
Syracuse and the surrounding region offer an appealing backdrop for your day-to-day life and your clinical work. You’ll be immersed in a network of health systems that emphasize evidence-based practices, patient-centered care, and collaborative problem-solving. The city provides access to superb educational, arts, and dining scenes, while being a gateway to some of New York’s most beloved natural attractions. The Adirondack and Catskill regions, the Finger Lakes wine country, and the falls and lakes along Lake Ontario are within reach for weekend explorations. In this setting, you’ll experience four distinct seasons, a reasonable cost of living, and a community of healthcare professionals committed to high-quality outcomes. For those who appreciate travel and variety, the possibility to practice in different locations across the country adds an exciting dimension to your career, expanding your clinical perspectives and sharpening your leadership in case management.
Role specifics and benefits flow from a robust, growth-oriented framework. You’ll lead comprehensive case management for patients navigating complex diagnoses, chronic conditions, and transitions across inpatient, transitional care, and home- and community-based settings. Core responsibilities include comprehensive assessments, risk stratification, development and coordination of individualized care plans, discharge planning, utilization review, and coordination with physicians, social workers, therapists, payers, and community partners. You’ll advocate for safe, timely discharges while ensuring appropriate post-acute services, home health, durable medical equipment, and community supports are in place. Your clinical judgment will guide evidence-based pathways, while your communication skills will empower patients and families to participate in decisions about their care. The role also invites professional growth through ongoing education, specialization opportunities within case management, and potential leadership pathways as you demonstrate impact, reliability, and collaboration. In addition to a competitive weekly pay range of $2,159 to $2,316, you’ll have access to a compelling package that recognizes your expertise, including a bonus structure, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the assignment as needs and interests align. The program emphasizes strong support for travelers, with 24/7 guidance and resources to troubleshoot clinical or logistical challenges, so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care. It’s important to note that the hours are not guaranteed, reflecting the flexibility required in travel healthcare; however, the pathway to extension lets you continue applying your skills in a variety of settings across the country.
A company with values that align with your own will support you every step of the way. We are committed to empowering our staff to advance their careers within a nurturing, respectful environment that celebrates collaboration, curiosity, and resilience. The leadership team prioritizes your professional development, mentoring, and access to continual learning opportunities, while ensuring you have a reliable network of clinical and administrative partners.

With 24/7 support as you travel, you’ll have robust assistance for housing, orientation, credentialing, and onboarding, plus resources designed to reduce administrative burdens so you can devote your time to patient outcomes and personal growth.
