Mid Level
Step into a compelling opportunity as a Registered Nurse in the PCU in Utica, New York, where your clinical expertise guides patients through nuanced recovery paths and coordinates compassionate care in a fast-paced, high-impact unit. In this role you’ll blend precise clinical skills with patient advocacy, ensuring safe transitions from acute care to progressive recovery while empowering families with clear communication and confidence in the care plan. Imagine the difference you’ll make as you support patients who are navigating complex conditions, coordinating care with multidisciplinary teams, and sustaining your clinical growth in a unit that values thoughtful, evidence-based practice. This assignment also offers the chance to experience the beauty and character of upstate New York, where historic streets meet vibrant community life, delicious local cuisine, and a gateway to outdoor adventures along the Mohawk Valley and nearby Adirondack regions—an ideal backdrop for the demanding, rewarding work you do every day.
Location benefits extend beyond the bedside. Utica provides a welcoming, tight-knit community atmosphere with a thriving healthcare ecosystem, rich in cultural events, museums, and dining that celebrate local flavors. The city’s compact size makes it easy to settle in quickly, while its proximity to larger hubs opens opportunities for professional networking and collaboration with experienced colleagues. For clinicians drawn to travel nursing, the program also offers the possibility to rotate through varied settings across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire while maintaining a stable base of operation. You’ll enjoy access to dependable infrastructure, modern facilities, and a supportive community that prioritizes patient-centered care. And while Utica is your current home for this assignment, the broader program invites you to broaden your horizon, refining your PCU skill set in diverse environments and patient populations.
In this PCU RN role, you’ll take on responsibilities that showcase advanced assessment and critical thinking. Core duties include monitoring evolving patient conditions, administering medications and therapies with precision, interpreting telemetry, managing IV lines and complex dressings, performing frequent re-evaluations, and collaborating closely with physicians, case managers, pharmacists, and wound care teams. You’ll contribute to meticulous discharge planning, patient education, and family coaching to ensure continuity of care after discharge. Your professional growth will be fueled by exposure to a wide spectrum of progressive care scenarios, opportunities to lead within the unit, and ongoing access to specialty resources that deepen your technical proficiency and clinical judgment. The role also emphasizes safety, infection control, and evidence-based protocols, helping you build a robust foundation for future leadership or specialty certification.
Competitive benefits accompany this assignment. The position offers weekly pay ranging from $2,090 to $2,275, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring consistency and predictability in your planning. A sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend beyond the initial term are part of the comprehensive package designed to support you financially and professionally as you navigate a travel-focused career. The program emphasizes long-term professional partnerships, enabling you to extend assignments based on clinical performance, unit needs, and personal goals. You’ll receive structured clinical orientation and ongoing education, plus access to a broad network of experienced clinicians who share best practices and mentorship.
Support is a cornerstone of the experience. You’ll benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with the company, a dedicated traveler advocate, and resources designed to streamline logistics, lodging, meals, and travel arrangements. This unwavering support means you can focus on patient care and your personal well-being, knowing help is always within reach. The organization is committed to empowering its staff through transparent career pathways, ongoing skill development, and a culture where clinical excellence and compassionate care are celebrated together. You’ll find a workplace that values initiative, recognizes achievement, and provides the tools and encouragement needed to advance your career with confidence.

Expect a collaborative, respectful environment where your voice matters, your expertise is expanded, and your professional aspirations are supported. If you’re ready to elevate your PCU practice, join a team that prioritizes your growth, well-being, and impact on patients and families.
