Rochester, NY

URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Step into the front lines of compassionate care as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Rochester, New York. This assignment is not just a job: it’s an invitation to apply your clinical expertise across diverse medical-surgical units, to mentor teammates, and to lead care that keeps patients safe, informed, and empowered. You’ll move fluidly between acuity levels, manage post-op recoveries, monitor complex vitals, administer medications, perform wound care, and partner with physicians, case managers, and families to map clear, compassionate care plans. Each shift is an opportunity to refine your practice, document precisely in the electronic medical record, and strengthen the continuum of care. And beyond the clinical impact, you’ll discover the beauty and energy of New York’s Upstate region—lake breezes on Lake Ontario, the cultural vibrancy of Rochester’s neighborhoods, and nearby natural retreats in the Genesee Valley—places where downtime becomes renewal and curiosity becomes opportunity.
Rochester offers a compelling blend of professional opportunity and lifestyle appeal. You’ll enjoy affordable housing options, access to a dynamic arts scene, diverse dining, and expansive parks that invite recovery after demanding shifts. Working in this city means joining a community that values nurses, supports your clinical development, and provides access to strong medical networks. For travelers who relish variety, the program also opens pathways to assignments across the United States, letting you experience different facilities, patient populations, and leadership styles while expanding your professional toolkit and enriching your clinical perspective.
Role specifics and benefits: In Med Surg, you’ll deliver direct patient care to adults with a spectrum of medical conditions, including acute illnesses, post-surgical recoveries, chronic disease management, and complex comorbidity care. Responsibilities include comprehensive assessments, continuous monitoring of vitals and devices, medication administration, wound care, and symptom management, as well as proactive discharge planning and patient education to support safe transitions home. You’ll communicate and collaborate daily with a multidisciplinary team to coordinate care, contribute to quality improvement initiatives, and participate in effective handoffs that ensure continuity. The position offers a clear path for growth within the Med Surg specialty—advanced practice opportunities, involvement in process improvements, and the chance to mentor fellow travelers or local staff as you accumulate experience. Benefits emphasize competitiveness, including a potential bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that align with your personal and professional plans. You’ll also receive robust, 24/7 support from dedicated travel coordinators and clinical leaders who understand the realities of traveling while delivering exceptional patient care, providing scheduling flexibility, onboarding assistance, and real-time problem solving so you can focus on the patients.
Company values: Our partner organization is driven by a commitment to empower its nursing teams, prioritizing ongoing professional development and a supportive, inclusive work environment. You’ll be encouraged to pursue relevant certifications, assume leadership responsibilities, and share expertise with peers. The culture centers on safety, respect, and excellence, backed by resources that nurture clinical growth and personal wellbeing for traveling nurses.
