Mt, Edgecumbe Hospital
Mid Level
Step into the role of a Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Sitka, Alaska, and become a vital link between compassionate care and lifesaving outcomes. In this assignment, your clinical expertise will guide a diverse patient population through recovery, discharge planning, and patient and family education. You’ll bring calm, precision, and a collaborative spirit to a fast-paced Med Surg floor where every shift offers meaningful learning and a tangible impact on patients’ lives. Sitka sits on Alaska’s scenic southeast coast, a place of rugged beauty where forested mountains meet the ocean. Here you’ll swap everyday views for spectacular vistas—glaciers kissing the horizon, salmon runs in season, eagles overhead, and the steady rhythm of a close-knit community. Beyond the clinical, you’ll enjoy a chance to explore the beauty of Alaska’s best-kept secrets, from the Tongass National Forest to waterfront trails and small-town charm that invites both reflection and adventure.
Location Benefits: Sitka offers a distinctive blend of rugged wilderness accessibility and maritime comfort, ideal for clinicians who value balance and perspective. You’ll experience a welcoming coastal town with a tight-knit healthcare network, where teamwork, innovation, and patient-centered care are everyday priorities. The local culture honors Alaska’s natural wonders, outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of community. For professionals who love variety, this role also opens opportunities to work at partner facilities across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining a base in Sitka’s extraordinary environment. Expect streamlined onboarding, resources to support your move, and access to housing assistance and travel stipends that make relocating or extending assignments smoother. Embrace the chance to grow your skill set in a setting that challenges you to adapt, communicate, and lead with confidence—then bring that experience to new facilities and patient populations nationwide.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an RN on Med Surg, you’ll oversee adult medical-surgical patients requiring comprehensive care. Core responsibilities include initial assessments, charting and care planning, administration of medications and IV therapy, wound care, monitoring of vitals and clinical status, documentation accuracy, escalating changes in condition, collaboration with physicians and multidisciplinary teams, and discharge planning with patient and family education. You’ll coordinate with case management to ensure timely transitions and appropriate post-hospital care, while maintaining safety standards and regulatory compliance. The ideal candidate will excel in prioritization, clinical judgment, and compassionate communication with a diverse patient load and their families. This position supports professional growth through mentorship, access to additional certifications, and opportunities to assume leadership roles such as a charge nurse or preceptor. The package includes competitive compensation, a weekly pay range of $2,781 to $2,962, and 36 guaranteed hours per week. The assignment begins on 03/09/2026 and runs for a flexible number of weeks, with extensions available for those who demonstrate excellence and a continued fit. A sign-on bonus is available, along with housing assistance to ease your transition. You’ll appreciate comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our corporate team as you travel between locations, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone. The combination of a stable schedule, clear growth pathways, and patient-centered impact defines this role as a compelling step in your Med Surg nursing career.
