Contracted
URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a rewarding travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, with a transformative start in Rochester, New York, on 04/13/2026. This is your doorway to delivering expert, compassionate care to adults navigating acute medical and post-operative situations, while becoming a pivotal part of a cohesive team that values precision, empathy, and patient empowerment. In this role you’ll restore strength, soothe anxious families, and champion patient education—laying the groundwork for safer outcomes and smoother recoveries. And when you’re off shift, indulge in the beauty and diversity of New York: stroll along the sparkling shores near the Finger Lakes, savor world-class dining and arts in the city’s cultural enclaves nearby, marvel at Niagara Falls, and explore the Adirondack mountains or the Hudson Valley’s scenic trails. Rochester itself blends historic charm, vibrant neighborhoods, parks, and a thriving culinary scene, offering both urban energy and relaxed lakeside respite.
Location Benefits: Choosing Rochester means joining a city that supports healthcare excellence while offering a high quality of life, affordable living options, and easy access to outdoor adventures and cultural experiences. As a travel RN, you also gain the opportunity to work across multiple remarkable locations within the United States. That means expanding your professional network, sharpening adaptive clinical skills, and discovering distinct hospital cultures—from urban teaching facilities to community hospitals—each with its own patient mix, protocols, and interdisciplinary teamwork. You’ll benefit from a robust support system that keeps you connected with your goals, providing seamless transitions between assignments and ensuring you have the information, resources, and backup you need to thrive on the road.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In Med Surg, you’ll be accountable for delivering high-quality bedside care across a spectrum of medical and post-surgical patients. Key responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessments, vigilant monitoring of vitals and clinical changes, timely administration of medications, IV therapy, wound care, and wound vacs as indicated, and meticulous documentation in electronic health records. You’ll participate in developing and updating individualized care plans, coordinate discharge planning, and educate patients and families to empower self-care after discharge. Collaboration with physicians, charge nurses, case managers, and ancillary teams will be central to ensuring smooth patient transitions and optimal recovery trajectories. There is ample opportunity for professional growth within the specialty, including pursuing certifications such as Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification (CMSRN) or CCRN-pathway options, leadership development tracks, and cross-training experiences that broaden your clinical horizons. We emphasize ongoing skill advancement through evidence-based practice, simulation-based learning, and access to specialized preceptorships or mentoring programs.
Compensation and perks start with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,041 to $2,236, reflecting the value you bring to the bedside and the breadth of your responsibilities. A competitive bonus structure recognizes your dedication and performance, and housing assistance helps you secure comfortable, convenient accommodations close to your assignment. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to extend your stay if you love the environment, the team, and the patient population—or to transition toward longer-term opportunities as your goals evolve. You’ll also receive comprehensive onboarding and credentialing support, flexible scheduling where possible, and access to travel and shift-specific allowances. Throughout your travels, you are never alone: a dedicated team provides 24/7 support to troubleshoot any challenge, coordinate clinical needs, and ensure your travel logistics, housing, and wellness are prioritized. While the stated hours show a flexible framework, you’ll have clear visibility into weekly expectations, with emphasis on high-quality, patient-centered care, teamwork, and safety. The hours and pay are estimates and can vary; final compensation and scheduling will be clarified during the hiring process, ensuring you understand every element of your assignment before you begin.
Company Values: This organization is rooted in empowering its staff to grow within a supportive, collaborative ecosystem. You’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes professional advancement, continuous learning, and open communication. The workforce is built on mutual respect, inclusivity, and a commitment to well-being—ensuring you feel valued, heard, and prepared to reach your highest potential. Mentorship, leadership exposure, and access to transferrable skills across locations help you build a sustainable, diverse career in nursing, while the emphasis on compassionate care keeps the focus squarely on patients, families, and communities.
