Embark on a mission-critical ER nursing role in Watertown, New York, where your expertise in emergency medicine will directly impact patients and families at their most vulnerable moments. As a Registered Nurse specializing in the Emergency Department, you’ll contribute to a fast-paced team starting on 01/26/2026 for a multi-week assignment, with a guaranteed 36 hours each week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,261 to $2,384. This isn’t just a temporary role; it’s a stepping-stone to sharpen clinical judgment, deepen your specialty practice, and experience the hospitality and support of a national healthcare partner devoted to your success. You’ll triage, assess, monitor, and treat a broad spectrum of emergencies, from acute chest pain and trauma to pediatric distress and high-acuity medical cases, coordinating care with physicians, techs, and ancillary teams to ensure timely, evidence-based interventions. Expect opportunities to expand your skills in rapid patient assessment, airway management, medication administration, IV therapy, EKG interpretation, and high-stakes decision making while maintaining the highest standards of safety, documentation, and patient advocacy.
The beauty of New York state is unmatched, offering a tapestry of landscapes and experiences that complement your professional journey. In addition to the picturesque setting of Watertown, you’ll have the chance to explore the remarkable surroundings—from the rugged beauty of the Adirondack Mountains to the scenic stretches along the St. Lawrence River and Thousand Islands region.

Watertown offers a supportive healthcare ecosystem with dedicated teams, experienced mentors, and streamlined workflows designed to help you deliver efficient, patient-centered care even during high-volume periods. You’ll benefit from competitive compensation complemented by a generous package that may include a welcome bonus, housing assistance to reduce relocation stress, and the potential for contract extensions to build continuity within a facility you come to value. The assignment emphasizes stability with guaranteed hours, while also presenting the flexibility to extend your tenure if you and the facility align well. Comprehensive on-call and operational support are in place, so you’re never alone on the road: you’ll have 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team and clinical leadership ready to respond to your needs, questions, or shifts that require quick resolution.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to help you thrive. Your responsibilities will span initial patient presentation through stabilization and discharge planning, including triage prioritization, immersive patient assessment, rapid administration of treatment plans, and meticulous charting in the electronic health record. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and social workers to develop and implement individualized care plans, focusing on patient safety, effective communication with families, and efficient throughput in a dynamic ER environment. The role offers professional growth within the emergency specialty, with opportunities to gain exposure to trauma protocols, critical care pathways, and quality improvement initiatives. You’ll receive comprehensive support to navigate credentialing, housing, travel logistics, and ongoing education, ensuring you remain at the forefront of emergency medicine. The package reflects a commitment to your well-being: a competitive weekly pay range, housing assistance to ease relocation, and a pathway to contract extensions that reward loyalty and performance. Around-the-clock company support is available to address clinical questions, scheduling concerns, or emergencies you might encounter while traveling with the organization.

You’ll be part of a community that champions professional development, recognizes achievement, and provides the resources you need to balance clinical excellence with personal well-being. Expect transparent communication, fair scheduling practices, and a workplace that respects your expertise, values your voice, and supports your ambitions—whether you’re pursuing leadership opportunities, pursuing certifications, or refining specialized ER skills through hands-on immersion.
