Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job
Utica, NY
Contracted
MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a meaningful, patient‑centered journey as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, where your clinical expertise and compassionate care shape healing in every shift. This assignment begins February 16, 2026 and spans multiple weeks, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,033 to $2,157. Stationed in Utica, New York, you’ll join a dedicated medical‑surgical team delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based care, supporting patients from admission through recovery and discharge. In this role you’ll elevate your Med Surg practice, manage complex caseloads, and mentor fellow nurses while contributing to a stronger, more resilient community hospital. If you’re ready to grow your skill set—advancing patient assessment, clinical decision‑making, and collaborative care—this is your opportunity to make a tangible, lasting impact.
Separately, consider the beauty of New York State beyond the hospital walls: the Adirondack Mountains calling with miles of pristine trails, crystal‑clear lakes, and seasonal beauty that invites outdoor exploration after demanding shifts. The Hudson Valley glows with scenic vistas and cultural charm, while the Finger Lakes region offers wineries, waterfront strolls, and vibrant fall colors. Utica itself blends historic charm with modern amenities, neighborhood eateries, and welcoming neighborhoods. This state’s diverse landscapes provide restorative escapes and quick getaways, making work‑life balance feel attainable even in a demanding Med Surg role.
Location benefits extend beyond Utica’s warmth and accessibility. You’ll enjoy a supportive community environment, shorter commutes, and a cost of living that helps your earnings go further, with ready access to outdoor recreation, dining, and education options. For seasoned travelers and those seeking broader horizons, there’s the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical exposure, sharpening your adaptability, and building a broad professional network. You’ll join a program that pairs your expertise with flexible assignments, allowing you to experience different patient populations, hospital cultures, and care delivery models, all while maintaining the continuity and quality you expect from a trusted employer. Our approach rewards your mobility with competitive benefits, a sense of belonging, and real chances to extend contracts based on performance and unit needs.
Role specifics and benefits: as a Med Surg RN, you’ll perform comprehensive patient assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications, manage IV therapies, and respond to rapid changes in patient status with calm, precise action. You’ll participate in care planning with physicians and multidisciplinary teams, implement evidence‑based interventions, and coordinate discharge planning and education for patients and families. You’ll support post‑operative and general medical patients, including those with multisystem needs, ensuring pain control, infection prevention, and safe transitions to home or rehab settings. This role offers meaningful professional growth within the Med Surg specialty—from advanced assessments and wound care to new procedures and care protocols—while inviting mentorship of newer team members and possible pathways into charge nurse or clinical educator roles as opportunities arise. In addition to the clinical duties, you’ll receive a robust benefits package that includes a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance or a lodging stipend if needed, and potential contract extensions based on unit demand and your performance. You’ll have access to comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel support team, who can help with scheduling, credentialing, housing, and on‑the‑ground needs, ensuring you never face a challenge alone on the road.
Company values center on empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work environment where your growth is a priority. The organization is committed to ongoing education, specialty certifications, mentorship programs, and structured leadership tracks that recognise achievement and dedication. You’ll join colleagues who value empathy, integrity, clinical excellence, and teamwork, and you’ll benefit from resources designed to help you thrive—whether you’re refining clinical skills, taking on mentorship roles, or exploring leadership opportunities within a stable health system.
If you’re ready to join a forward‑thinking travel program that respects your time, your expertise, and your aspirations, apply now. This is your chance to contribute to compassionate patient care, expand your Med Surg repertoire, and be part of a company that steadfastly supports your professional development, work‑life balance, and well‑being.
The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
