Mount Nittany Health
Mid Level
Begin a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in Labor & Delivery in State College, Pennsylvania, where your expertise will be pivotal in guiding families through one of life’s most sacred moments. This role invites you to bring clinical excellence, compassionate care, and clinical leadership to the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum pathways, ensuring safe deliveries, skilled neonatal support, and empowering education for new families. Imagine the moment a newborn arrives, the relief and joy of parents, and your steady presence guiding the team with confidence, precision, and warmth. Your impact extends beyond the delivery room as you collaborate with obstetricians, midwives, and pediatric teams to optimize outcomes, advocate for maternal and newborn health, and mentor colleagues on best practices. In State College you’ll contribute to a culture that values evidence-based care, respectful communication, and continuous learning, while embracing the unique rhythms of a college-town environment that blends academic energy with close-knit community support. This role is an invitation to deepen your L&D specialty, sharpen clinical judgment in high-stakes moments, and cultivate lasting relationships with patients, families, and fellow professionals.
Pennsylvania offers a wealth of beauty and opportunity that can complement your professional journey. Picture weekend excursions along scenic byways, autumn foliage painting the countryside in breathtaking hues, and easy access to state parks, trails, and riverfronts for restorative downtime. In addition to State College’s vibrant campus life, you’ll discover charming towns, farmers’ markets, cultural festivals, and welcoming neighborhoods that make long shifts feel balanced by rich local experiences. And as a nurse traveler, you’ll have the chance to explore the state’s quieter rural patients’ communities and its dynamic urban centers, enriching your clinical perspective while maintaining a strong sense of home base and professional purpose.
Location benefits and opportunities across the U.S. The position is anchored in State College, PA, with the option to participate in assignments across diverse locations nationwide. This enables you to broaden your clinical repertoire—from high-occupancy urban hospitals to community facilities in rural settings—while enjoying the security of guaranteed hours. You’ll benefit from a structured travel program that supports relocation, credentialing, and seamless onboarding, along with the flexibility to select assignments that align with your personal and professional goals. The Pennsylvania setting provides a stable platform for learning and leadership development, paired with the excitement of nationwide placement options that cultivate resilience, adaptability, and cross-cultural nursing acumen. In every setting, you’ll have access to dedicated 24/7 support, transport and housing assistance, and a network of peers and mentors who share your dedication to safe, patient-centered care.
Role specifics and benefits. As a Labor & Delivery RN in this travel assignment, you’ll monitor labor patterns, perform fetal surveillance, assist during cesarean and vaginal deliveries, manage postpartum recovery, and lead essential newborn stabilization when needed. You’ll triage admissions, implement care plans aligned with obstetric best practices, monitor vitals, administer medications, and coordinate with anesthesia, neonatal, and lactation teams to ensure smooth transitions from intrapartum to postpartum care. You’ll educate families on newborn care, breastfeeding, and warning signs, while documenting meticulously in electronic health records and contributing to quality improvement initiatives. The role offers substantial professional growth: you’ll refine critical decision-making under pressure, develop leadership capabilities within a multidisciplinary team, and gain exposure to varied obstetric pathways, high-risk pregnancies, and neonatal resuscitation scenarios. Compensation is competitive, with weekly pay ranging from $2,019 to $2,040, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week. A signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities are available, ensuring you have a stable base as you explore new environments. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel nursing team 24/7, ensuring you stay connected, safe, and therapeutically engaged even while traveling. Initial assignments are designed with flexibility in mind—typical durations are weeks long, with extensions possible based on patient demand and staffing needs. Clear onboarding and ongoing credentialing support help you navigate any licensure requirements confidently, while encouragement to pursue specialty certifications and leadership tracks underscores the commitment to your long-term growth.
Company values. Our partner healthcare organizations are dedicated to empowering their staff, prioritizing professional advancement, and maintaining a supportive, inclusive work climate.

When you grow, the organization grows with you, expanding roles, responsibilities, and pathways to permanent positions if you desire more permanence after travel assignments.
