Introduction
Step into a dynamic, life-changing travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, rooted in the welcoming community of Hermiston, Oregon. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to influence patient outcomes, elevate your clinical skills, and grow within a specialty that values thoughtful, compassionate care. You’ll bring critical assessment, steady hands, and a collaborative spirit to a fast-paced Med Surg floor, delivering high-quality patient care while experiencing the beauty and character of Oregon. The assignment launches on 01/30/2026 and runs for several weeks with the security of 36 guaranteed hours per week. Your weekly compensation will be competitive, with an estimated range of $2,471-$2,510, reflecting the value you bring to the team. As you step into this journey, imagine the impact you can make—one patient at a time—while exploring Oregon’s diverse landscapes, from evergreen trails to open desert panoramas, and from river corridors to quiet farmsteads. The opportunity also offers exposure to a variety of locations across the United States, providing a broadening professional footprint and the flexibility to experience new communities while staying connected to the core Med Surg practice you know and love.
Location Benefits
Hermiston sits in a region that combines a tranquil, community-oriented lifestyle with access to outdoor adventures and a robust food and agricultural economy. Working here means you’ll enjoy shorter commutes, supportive colleagues, and a culture that prioritizes work–life balance. You’ll be able to explore local parks, riverfronts, and nearby recreational areas after shifts, savoring the view of Oregon’s striking high desert landscapes and rolling farmland. And because this opportunity can extend beyond Hermiston, you’ll also have the chance to experience varied clinical environments across multiple U.S. locations through our travel program, expanding your clinical perspective, sharpening adaptability, and building a broad professional network. Oregon’s natural beauty—whether you’re drawn to forested trails, breathtaking river canyons, or the sweeping skyline of the Pacific Northwest—serves as a constant backdrop for your personal and professional growth. The program’s housing assistance helps you settle in quickly, so you can focus on delivering excellent patient care from day one, knowing you have steady support, resources, and a community ready to welcome you.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As a Med Surg RN, you’ll be the anchor of patient care on a unit that blends acute observation with detailed discharge planning. Your core responsibilities will include performing comprehensive patient assessments, monitoring vital signs, managing IV therapy, administering medications, and implementing evidence-based nursing interventions. You’ll coordinate with physicians, pharmacists, and allied health professionals to develop and adjust care plans, ensuring timely interventions and safe transitions from hospital to home. You’ll document thoroughly, communicate clearly with families, and advocate for patient needs in a fast-paced environment that demands accuracy, empathy, and clinical judgment. This assignment presents a prime opportunity for professional growth: you can deepen your Med Surg expertise, gain exposure to diverse clinical presentations, and participate in cross-training opportunities that broaden your skill set within the specialty. The role includes competitive benefits, with a weekly pay range of $2,471-$2,510, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring financial predictability during your contract. In addition to base compensation, you’ll have access to housing assistance to ease relocation and housing logistics, making it simpler to focus on patient care and learning. Extension opportunities are available, offering a pathway to longer assignments or potential permanent roles, depending on performance, unit needs, and your career goals. We know travel nursing can be demanding, so we provide robust support, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company. From onboarding and orientation to ongoing clinical coaching and round-the-clock crisis support, you’ll never feel alone on the road. The role also emphasizes continuity of care and patient-centered outcomes, with emphasis on safe handoffs, patient education, and coordination with case management to optimize length of stay and post-discharge plans.
Company Values
Our organization is built on empowering clinicians to advance their careers while maintaining a compassionate, collaborative, and respectful workplace. We celebrate expertise, foster mentorship, and invest in ongoing professional development—from evidence-based practice updates to leadership and specialty training. You’ll join a team that prioritizes work culture, recognizes dedication, and supports personal well-being as part of professional excellence. By providing structured orientation, access to experienced preceptors, and opportunities for progression within the Med Surg track, we’re dedicated to helping you grow from strong clinician into an even more capable caregiver—and to doing so in a way that honors your contributions and encourages your voice on the unit. A culture of open communication, safety, and patient advocacy underpins every decision, ensuring you feel valued and empowered as you advance in your nursing career.
