Plattsburgh, NY
Contracted
CVPH
Mid Level
Embark on a fulfilling journey as a Registered Nurse in a Progressive Care Unit, where every patient story becomes a chance to demonstrate expertise, compassion, and leadership. In this PCU role based in Plattsburgh, New York, you’ll provide high‑touch care for patients transitioning from critical care toward recovery, combining vigilant telemetry monitoring, nuanced clinical assessment, and patient‑ and family‑centered communication. Start date March 19, 2026, with a thoughtfully designed assignment that honors clinical skill and professional growth. You’ll coordinate closely with physicians, therapists, and discharge planning, interpreting evolving vitals, managing post‑op or acute medical conditions, and administering medications with precision and safety. This position is more than a job; it’s a platform to elevate your practice, broaden your proficiency in complex care, and contribute to outcomes that matter. And when you’re not delivering excellent care, you’ll have the opportunity to savor the region’s distinctive charm—from historic river towns to scenic drives and seasonal festivities—while enjoying the warmth of a community that values your expertise and your wellbeing.

Set in Plattsburgh, a city that blends small‑town familiarity with the convenience of urban amenities, this assignment puts you in a location celebrated for natural beauty and outdoor opportunities. The Adirondack foothills rise nearby, inviting hikers, skiers, and nature lovers to explore pristine lakes, forest trails, and breathtaking vistas. In summer you can kayak along calm shores or stroll along waterfront promenades; in winter, snow sports and cozy cafés invite you to slow down and recharge. Plattsburgh’s proximity to Lake Champlain and the Canadian border enhances weekend adventures, from boating to culture‑rich day trips. Beyond the outdoors, the area offers charming restaurants, farmers markets, and cultural events that showcase local arts and history. This setting isn’t just a place to work; it’s a place to belong, recharge, and draw inspiration from the beauty and vitality that surround you.

Role specifics and benefits come together to support your clinical excellence and career trajectory. In this PCU role, you’ll manage a high‑acuity patient population requiring continuous monitoring, telemetry interpretation, and timely escalation when necessary. You’ll perform complex assessments, formulate and execute individualized care plans, administer medications safely, and monitor hemodynamics, lab results, and response to therapies. You’ll collaborate with charge nurses, physicians, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, social workers, and case managers to coordinate care transitions, discharge planning, and patient education. The position emphasizes growth within the specialty—opportunities to pursue critical care certifications, expand proficiency in cardiovascular monitoring, and assume mentored leadership tasks on the unit as you advance. The package is designed to be competitive and supportive: you’ll receive weekly pay between $2,208 and $2,383, with options for extension that align with your goals and preferences. A sign‑on or completion bonus may be available, and housing assistance helps you settle in without friction. Flexible scheduling and targeted extension opportunities empower you to plan ahead, balance personal commitments, and continue building a robust resume in a respected specialty. In addition, you’ll have 24/7 support from our dedicated travel health professionals and operational teams, ensuring you’re never alone on assignment—whether you need clinical guidance, housing arrangements, or urgent logistics help on short notice. This comprehensive support framework is designed to reduce stress and maximize your focus on patient care.

Our company values staff empowerment and professional development as core pillars. We’re committed to fostering a culture that recognizes your expertise, listens to your needs, and prioritizes your career growth. Expect mentorship, continuing education assistance, and opportunities to broaden your scope within the PCU, telemetry, and related specialties. The environment emphasizes teamwork, respect, and a proactive approach to safe, high‑quality outcomes. You’ll be part of a community that celebrates curiosity, encourages upskilling, and supports ambitious career paths—from rapid advancement through clinical leadership tracks to specialization opportunities that align with your passions and patient population.

Ready to make an impact and grow in a regional hub that values your clinical finesse and human connection? Apply now to join a company that respects your contributions, invests in your development, and stands beside you as you deliver compassionate, high‑quality care.
