Ardent Health Services Portneuf Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Pocatello, Idaho. In this specialty, your expertise in monitoring evolving clinical pictures, anticipating complications, and coordinating with an interdisciplinary team will empower patients recovering from significant events to regain strength with confidence. You’ll apply sharp assessment, precise vitals interpretation, meticulous documentation, and patient-centered education to craft safe transitions from acute care toward steady, purposeful progress. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to shape recovery stories, mentor teammates, and elevate the standard of care in a vibrant community. Your start date would be 01/19/2026, and the assignment offers weeks-long engagements with the potential for extensions to match your career plans. Idaho’s dramatic landscapes and dynamic towns provide a stimulating backdrop for professional growth and personal discovery.
Idaho’s beauty is an invitation to balance professional purpose with outdoor inspiration. Pocatello sits near striking public lands, rolling foothills, and wide blue skies that invite hiking, cycling, and seasonal adventures. The state’s diverse scenery—from the nearby Portneuf River canyons to rugged mountain trails—offers countless downtime escapes, creating a restorative rhythm between shifts. Beyond the immediate locale, the chance to travel to various locations across the U.S. enriches your clinical repertoire and expands your network, letting you experience different patient populations, hospital cultures, and care models. Whether you’re exploring a new urban center or a scenic rural community, you’ll gain a broader perspective on evidence-based PCU practices while cultivating durable professional relationships.
Role specifics and benefits fuse clinical rigor with rewarding growth. In this PCU RN role, you will monitor and stabilize patients transitioning between ICU-level vigilance and general medical floors, interpreting complex data, recognizing early warning signs, and implementing timely interventions under evolving orders. You’ll manage hemodynamic stability, administer medications with precision, perform frequent patient assessments, collaborate with physicians, pharmacists, case managers, and therapists, and educate patients and families to support adherence and informed decision-making. The position emphasizes professional development within the PCU specialty—opportunities to pursue unit-based certifications, participate in quality improvement projects, and mentor new float staff as you gain confidence with higher-acuity trajectories. The package includes competitive compensation, with weekly pay ranging from $1,615 to $1,713, plus a sign-on or completion bonus designed to recognize your expertise and dedication. Housing assistance helps simplify logistics, and contract extensions offer a clear path to longer-term assignments that align with your goals. You’ll enjoy robust support from a dedicated team around the clock, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating a new environment alone. Note that hours and pay rates are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. The arrangement is built to accommodate week-to-week flexibility while honoring your need for predictable planning.
Company values and culture focus on empowering staff to grow, innovate, and lead with compassion. The organization is committed to a supportive work environment where you’re encouraged to expand your scope of practice, advance your career, and contribute to a culture of safety, integrity, and teamwork. You’ll find mentors and peers who value open communication, professional curiosity, and a shared mission of improving patient outcomes. The emphasis on continuous learning and career advancement ensures your contributions are recognized and your professional trajectory is respected, whether you stay in Pocatello or explore new locations across the country on subsequent assignments.
