This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to shape patient outcomes, mentor teammates, and elevate your clinical expertise in medical-surgical care. You’ll join a dynamic team where your hands-on skill, compassionate approach, and clinical judgment will directly impact patients and families during vulnerable moments. This travel engagement offers the chance to build a robust med-surg portfolio while embracing the energy of a vibrant state known for culture, innovation, and resilience.

New York state offers a tapestry of experiences, and Rochester sits at the heart of it. Beyond the clinical environment, you’ll discover affordable living, rich culinary scenes, and a wealth of cultural offerings—from museums and theaters to lively festivals and community programs. The beauty of upstate New York awaits: gentle lake breezes along the Finger Lakes, scenic parks for weekend adventures, the historic charm of city neighborhoods, and quick escapes to nearby natural wonders. This assignment not only advances your nursing career but also invites you to savor the region’s distinctive charm and outdoor recreation, making every week rewarding inside the hospital and out in your downtime.

Location benefits go beyond one campus. Your travel role offers exposure to a variety of hospital settings within Rochester and, when desired, across diverse locations in the U.S., expanding your professional repertoire. You’ll work in fast-paced tertiary services, community hospitals, and specialty units that challenge you to apply evidence-based med-surg practices while refining patient assessment, rapid response collaboration, and post-acute transition planning. The experience builds adaptability, cultural competence, and leadership readiness, all while you enjoy the advantages of competitive compensation and a supportive travel ecosystem that values work-life balance and personal growth.

Role specifics and benefits come together to create a comprehensive, growth-oriented experience. As a Med Surg RN, you’ll be responsible for performing thorough patient assessments, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, managing IV therapies, and delivering standardized nursing care plans tailored to acuity and comorbidity profiles. You’ll assist with wound care, drains, and post-operative recovery, participate in discharge planning, and provide patient and family education to promote understanding and adherence. You’ll collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to optimize pain management, mobility, nutrition, and safety, while engaging in continuous quality improvement initiatives that elevate unit performance. The position offers pathways for professional development, including opportunities to expand your scope through certifications, cross-training to related units, and potential leadership exposure as you demonstrate reliability, clinical excellence, and compassionate patient advocacy.

Compelling benefits complement the clinical responsibilities. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $2,093-$2,174, with the clarity that compensation figures are estimates subject to final agreement during the hiring process. We understand the importance of support when you’re traveling: you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and contract extensions that align with your career goals and personal plans. A dedicated travel concierge provides 24/7 assistance, ensuring you’re never navigating logistics alone, from onboarding and housing to shifts and site transitions. The program is designed to minimize friction, maximize clinical time, and keep you focused on delivering outstanding patient care across different facilities and shifts.

Our company values empower you to grow.
