Step into a transformative travels role as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, where every shift offers the chance to impact patients’ lives, strengthen clinical skills, and grow within a dynamic team. You’ll manage a diverse caseload—from post-operative stabilization to complex medical admissions—using evidence-based practices, clear communication, and compassionate care to accelerate recovery and comfort. Begin your journey on 12/08/2025 with a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,593–$1,661, with the broader opportunity for extension beyond the initial weeks. This position is designed for several weeks of engagement with the potential to continue, providing both structure and exciting variety in your travel nursing career. You’ll join a program that values your expertise and supports you every step of the way, including a strong package that can include a signing bonus, housing assistance, and flexible extension opportunities to fit your plans and goals. Throughout your travels, you’ll have reliable, 24/7 support from a dedicated team that coordinates every detail so you can focus on exceptional patient care.
Location benefits go beyond your daily bedside duties. Iowa and Washington offer distinct, enriching experiences that enhance both professional and personal life. In Iowa, you’ll encounter welcoming communities, vibrant local culture, and access to diverse hospital settings that emphasize teamwork and patient-centered care. The landscapes are vast and inviting—from rolling rural countryside to charming small towns with hidden culinary and cultural gems, where weekend explorations can include scenic drives along the Great River Road, lake adventures at Okoboji, or a taste of Amana’s heritage. In Washington, you’ll be immersed in a Pacific Northwest mindset—progressive healthcare environments, access to mountains and waterways, and a vitality that comes from dynamic urban and rural harmonies. Whether you’re drawn to the Puget Sound region, the Cascade foothills, or serene coastlines, Washington offers opportunities to experience nature, culture, and innovation while delivering top-tier medical care. And for the adventurous, the program also opens the door to opportunities across the U.S., allowing you to experience varied hospitals, patient populations, and clinical challenges that sharpen your Med Surg expertise and broaden your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits center on your growth, stability, and support. Core responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessments, developing and adjusting individualized care plans, implementing swift clinical interventions, monitoring vitals and telemetry, administering medications safely and accurately, coordinating with physicians and the broader care team, and facilitating timely discharge planning and patient education. You’ll also provide wound care, IV therapy, and post-surgical monitoring while maintaining meticulous documentation and adherence to infection control and safety protocols. Collaboration is key, as you’ll mentor incoming travel nurses and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and patient advocacy. The opportunity for professional advancement is built into the program through access to continuing education allowances, specialty certifications, and pathways to clinical leadership roles as you demonstrate expertise and a commitment to excellence. In addition to clinical growth, you’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package, including a signing bonus, housing assistance, and the ability to extend your contract based on facility needs and your career goals. A robust support structure surrounds you—24/7 assistance from our travel team ensures you have problem-solving, credentialing help, housing logistics, and facility coordination whenever you need it, so you’re never navigating a challenge alone.
Company values reinforce a culture that truly empowers staff. We are devoted to your success, offering transparent advancement opportunities, mentorship, and a respectful, collaborative work environment where your input shapes patient care outcomes and organizational growth. The partnership centers on your professional development as much as the patient’s wellbeing, with recognition for your dedication and a clear pathway to expanded responsibilities, specialized roles, and enhanced clinical competencies.
