Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job
Philadelphia, PA
Contracted
Hospital of University of Pennsylvania
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ICU nursing role in the heart of Pennsylvania, where every shift offers the opportunity to save lives, restore health, and mentor colleagues through complex, high-stakes care. As an ICU Registered Nurse, you will be on the front lines of life-sustaining treatment, translating the latest clinical guidelines into compassionate, precise actions that support patients and families during some of their most challenging moments. This opportunity begins on 03/30/2026, with assignments designed to stretch your expertise across weeks of focused collaboration with a dedicated team. The Keystone State is more than a place to work—it is a place to grow, to serve, and to savor a rich blend of urban vitality and rural beauty. From the historic streets and world‑class museums of Philadelphia to the tranquil landscapes of the rolling hills and waterways that define the Pennsylvania countryside, this is a setting where professional fulfillment goes hand in hand with a meaningful, well-rounded life. In this role you’ll find not only top-tier clinical challenges but also access to a network that honors your expertise, your time, and your career ambitions.
Location Benefits: Philadelphia stands as a dynamic urban hub where culture, education, and healthcare converge. You’ll have the chance to care for a diverse patient population in state‑of‑the‑art facilities, with the energy of a major city constantly fueling collaboration and learning. If you crave variety, the program offers potential opportunities to work across multiple locations in the United States, delivering exposure to different patient populations, workflows, and innovations in critical care. You’ll gain insights from a broad spectrum of case mixes, from high‑acuity cardiac and neurology to post‑operative stabilization and trauma, all while enjoying convenient access to world-class dining, arts, sports, and outdoor recreation. And for those who value the outdoors, Pennsylvania offers beautiful seasons and natural escapes—from river days along the Delaware to the leafy trails and mountain vistas nearby—balancing demanding shifts with restorative downtime. The role is designed to maximize professional impact in Philadelphia while keeping doors open to further assignments that broaden your professional horizon, enriching both your clinical repertoire and your resume.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Key Responsibilities and Growth: You’ll deliver comprehensive critical care for the most vulnerable patients, including advanced hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, titration of vasoactive medications, complex infusion therapies, and meticulous infection control. You’ll participate in rounds with physicians, support services, and families, translating plan of care into actionable steps, while documenting precisely in electronic health records. The position emphasizes ongoing professional development—opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, pursue unit leadership experiences, and engage in cross‑training with cardiac, neurocritical, and trauma teams. You’ll mentor newer staff and contribute to evidence‑based practice projects that elevate patient outcomes across the ICU.
- Competitive Benefits and Support: This role offers competitive weekly pay ranges, with a typical range of $2,235–$2,392, reflecting your expertise and shift patterns. In addition to financial rewards, you’ll have access to housing assistance designed to ease the transition for traveling nurses, plus extension opportunities that let you lengthen a successful assignment to deepen your impact and continuity of care. A guaranteed 36.0 hours per week provides predictability in scheduling, while the flexible weeks framework supports your other commitments and personal goals. The program includes 24/7 support from a dedicated team, ensuring you have assistance whenever you need it during travel and assignment transitions.
- Comprehensive Support: Traveling with the company means you are never alone on the road or in unfamiliar units. Round‑the‑clock support is available to address clinical questions, credentialing or housing needs, and any on‑the‑ground logistics that arise, so you can focus on patient care with confidence. You’ll be connected to a robust network of colleagues, educators, and managers who understand the demands of ICU work and are committed to your safety, well‑being, and professional advancement. If you encounter complex cases, you’ll have the opportunity to consult with specialty teams and leverage institutional resources to optimize outcomes.
Company Values: Our organization is built around empowering staff to grow within the profession, advancing careers through structured development paths, mentorship, and opportunities to take on leadership roles within units. We cultivate a supportive, inclusive work environment where teamwork, transparency, and mutual respect drive everyday excellence. The focus is on sustainable careers—where nurses feel valued, challenged, and celebrated for their clinical judgment, empathy, and contribution to a thriving hospital community.
