Job Description Job Description Embark on a transformative travel assignment as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Utica, New York, where every shift is an opportunity to impact lives with precision, compassion, and expertise. This role places you at the heart of patient-centered care, guiding individuals from acute moments toward steady recovery with vigilant monitoring, nuanced assessments, and collaborative care planning. As you weave your clinical leadership into every patient interaction, you’ll mentor teammates, refine critical thinking under dynamic conditions, and elevate the standard of post-acute support across a diverse clinical landscape. Picture yourself delivering high-quality telemetry-enabled care, managing intricate medication regimens, coordinating with physicians, and partnering with families to illuminate paths to wellness. Alongside the immediate clinical rewards, this assignment invites you to discover the scenic and cultural richness of Upstate New York. From the Mohawk Valley’s storied towns to the tranquil beauty of nearby Adirondack foothills, Utica offers a compelling blend of outdoor adventures, vibrant dining, and a welcoming community that celebrates healthcare professionals who bring skill, heart, and resilience to the bedside. Location Benefits: Utica’s unique position in upstate New York grants you a deep sense of place—historic streets, diverse neighborhoods, and access to outdoor recreation that nourishes both body and spirit after demanding shifts. Beyond the local charm, this travel opportunity opens doors to assignments across the United States, should you choose to expand your horizons. You’ll enjoy the stability and predictability of a dedicated travel program while savoring the advantages of a community hospital setting: close-knit teams, steady patient volumes, and opportunities to specialize within the PCU or transition into related environments as you grow. The region’s cultural offerings, festivals, and nearby natural escapes provide refreshing getaways between assignments, ensuring you balance professional excellence with personal renewal. Role Specifics and Benefits: In this PCU RN role, you’ll lead comprehensive patient assessments, monitor telemetry and hemodynamic status, administer medications with precision, initiate and adjust care plans, and coordinate discharge planning with the broader care team. You’ll collaborate with physicians, case managers, and ancillary staff to facilitate smooth transitions, identify early deterioration signals, and advocate for evidence-based interventions that optimize outcomes. The position supports professional growth through structured pathways for advanced certifications, mentorship from experienced PCU colleagues, and opportunities to gain exposure to a spectrum of conditions—from post-surgical recovery to intermediate-critical care scenarios. Benefits emphasize competitiveness and support: a generous weekly pay range of $2,149–$2,260, guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a multi-week assignment starting 03/09/2026. You’ll have access to a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation and housing logistics, with clear options for contract extensions that align with your career ambitions. The program also delivers robust, 24/7 support while traveling with the company, including dedicated travel coordinators, clinical leads, and an on-call support line to address clinical questions, credentialing needs, or personal logistics—so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
