Rochester, NY
Contracted
Unity Hospital - Aya
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Med Surg, where compassionate care, clinical precision, and teamwork elevate patient outcomes. In Rochester, New York, you’ll support healing in a fast-paced med-surg setting while growing your skills and confidence. Start a journey that makes a real difference in people’s lives, with the beauty and energy of upstate New York nearby—from Lake Ontario’s shores to the scenic Finger Lakes. These landscapes, along with a vibrant community, make this more than a job—it’s a place to belong. You’ll find opportunities to explore the arts, dining, trails, and family-friendly neighborhoods, all while building a rewarding career that fits your life.
Location benefits: Rochester offers access to respected hospitals, strong mentorship, and a collaborative team that values every contribution. You’ll encounter diverse cases, refine assessment and care planning daily, and work with experienced nurses, physicians, and support staff who share a commitment to excellence. If you’re open to broader horizons, assignments can span the United States, exposing you to academic centers, community hospitals, and rural clinics. Each setting broadens your clinical perspective while enriching your personal life with varied culture and activities. The region’s cost of living, transit options, and nearby universities create a balanced environment where professional ambitions can flourish alongside a high quality of life.
Role specifics and benefits: Your primary duties include direct patient care under supervision, accurate vital sign monitoring, timely medication administration within policy and the five rights, wound care and dressing changes, IV starts where permitted, specimen collection, and precise charting in the electronic medical record. You’ll support admissions, discharges, and transitions, participate in rounds, and reinforce patient and family education on conditions, treatment plans, discharge instructions, and medication safety. Med-surg work offers a broad case mix—from post-op recovery to acute medical management—providing ongoing learning, critical thinking challenges, and opportunities to contribute to care plans. You’ll be part of a team that emphasizes evidence-based practice, pain management, infection control, fall prevention, and safety protocols to protect patients and staff. Professional growth is a core focus: mentorship, cross-training with related units, and pathways toward expanded responsibilities and leadership within med-surg teams. Benefits are designed to reward your expertise: competitive weekly pay ranges around $1,200–$1,270, the potential for a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and contract extensions. You’ll receive comprehensive 24/7 support while traveling with the company to coordinate shifts, housing, licensure matters, and travel logistics. Start date is 02/02/2026 for multi-week engagements, and while hours are listed as 0.0 guaranteed, schedules are built to align with patient needs and staffing availability, with opportunities to extend based on performance. Note that pay and hours are estimates and will be finalized during the hiring process.
Company values: We are dedicated to empowering our nursing teams through ongoing education, constructive feedback, and a supportive environment that respects your expertise and input. We champion career advancement, encourage continuous learning (including CEUs and licensure support), and foster a culture rooted in collaboration, compassion, and patient-centered care.
