MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Utica, New York, with opportunities that extend across diverse locations throughout the United States. Begin this impactful assignment on May 11, 2026, and bring compassionate, expert care to patients while expanding your clinical horizons. Picture the difference you can make at the bedside—stabilizing acutely ill adults, guiding families through complex care plans, and partnering with a multidisciplinary team to optimize recovery. In addition to the professional satisfaction, you’ll have the chance to experience the beauty and breadth of this state and its surrounding regions. Nestled in the Mohawk Valley, Utica sits amid upstate New York’s scenic tapestry—where rolling hills, historic neighborhoods, and vibrant cultural offerings meet the energy of a thriving healthcare corridor. From Adirondack sunsets to Finger Lakes exploration, New York’s diverse landscapes offer respite and inspiration during your breaks. And as you grow with us, you may also explore assignments in other communities across the country, expanding your professional network and your exposure to a variety of clinical settings.
Location Benefits: Utica combines the charm of upstate living with convenient access to larger urban centers, outdoor recreation, and a welcoming healthcare community. Residents enjoy a reasonable cost of living, strong neighborhood networks, and a rich blend of history, arts, and dining. You’ll be near the Adirondack region’s recreational opportunities for hiking, skiing, and fresh-air exploration, with easy access to Syracuse and Albany for occasional urban getaways, cultural events, and additional clinical mentorship opportunities. Working in Utica means integrating into a close-knit team that values your expertise while offering flexible scheduling to support work-life balance. For those who crave variety, the role opens doors to placements across the U.S.—allowing you to immerse yourself in different hospital cultures, patient populations, and care protocols. Whether you’re drawn to fast-paced teaching hospitals or community facilities with strong patient-centered approaches, you’ll discover environments that challenge you, reward your expertise, and broaden your professional footprint. The program is designed to provide a stable, predictable framework—36 guaranteed hours per week—while offering the flexibility to extend or transition to new assignments as you choose. We also recognize the importance of living well while you work, so housing assistance is available to ease relocation and lodging during your contract. And with the support of a dedicated travel team, you’ll have access to 24/7 assistance and resources to navigate any situation with confidence.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Med Surg Travel RN, you’ll deliver comprehensive inpatient care to a diverse mix of medical-surgical patients. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include thorough patient assessments, continuous monitoring of vital signs, timely administration of medications, IV therapy, wound care, and complex dressing changes. You’ll participate in early mobility protocols, respiratory therapies, and post-operative recovery pathways, while actively engaging in discharge planning and patient education to empower families for at-home success. Documentation will be precise and timely, ensuring accurate charting, care coordination, and handoffs across shifts. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and nutritionists to develop and implement individualized care plans that optimize outcomes. This is an excellent environment to advance clinically: you’ll refine assessment skills, learn new care algorithms, and gain exposure to diverse disease processes—from acute medical stabilization to post-surgical recovery. Our program supports your growth with structured mentorship, access to continuing education, and pathways to specialty certifications if you choose to pursue them.
Curated benefits accompany your clinical responsibilities. In addition to competitive weekly pay ranging approximately from $2,196 to $2,287, you’ll be eligible for a sign-on bonus and comprehensive housing assistance to reduce relocation costs and ease the transition into your new assignment. We emphasize professional development with opportunities to extend assignments, rotate to adjacent departments when needed, and assume increased responsibilities as you gain familiarity and confidence. You’ll also have access to robust 24/7 support from a travel team that’s there for you around the clock—whether you’re navigating shift changes, housing, credentialing, or urgent needs at the facility. The program prioritizes a supportive, team-oriented environment where your voice matters, your schedule is respected, and your professional trajectory is clear. We understand that excellence in Med Surg requires resilience, continuous learning, and compassionate patient engagement—qualities we actively cultivate through feedback, coaching, and real-world opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives, participate in patient safety rounds, and contribute to evidence-based care.
Company Values: Our organization is committed to empowering its nursing staff by fostering career advancement, offering mentorship, and providing a collaborative, inclusive work environment. We champion ongoing education, recognition of clinical expertise, and a culture that balances accountability with empathy. You’ll work within a framework that values your well-being, supports your professional goals, and encourages you to take ownership of your practice while benefiting from a unified, mission-driven team. This is more than a contract—it’s a pathway to refine your clinical identity, expand your scope, and connect with colleagues who share your dedication to patient-centered care and continuous improvement.
