Phoenix, AZ
Contracted
Banner University Medical Center Phoenix
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel ICU Registered Nurse in Phoenix, Arizona, where your expertise will stabilize the most acute critical care cases and guide patients toward recovery with confidence. In this fast‑paced ICU landscape, you’ll lead complex bedside care, expertly monitor ventilated patients, titrate hemodynamic support, manage multi‑system needs, and collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and care coordinators to deliver precise, compassionate treatment. Your hands, your judgment, and your leadership will elevate patient outcomes not only in one hospital, but across a network of top facilities within the Phoenix area and beyond, as you maneuver through diverse cases, shift patterns, and evolving protocols. This role is more than a contract—it’s a structured pathway to deepen expertise in critical care nursing, expand your clinical leadership, and leave a lasting impact on patients and families during some of their most challenging moments. Your start date is March 16, 2026, with assignments arranged in weeks that are designed to fit your professional goals while ensuring high standards of patient care and safety.
Arizona’s landscapes and seasonal beauty add a distinctive backdrop to your professional journey. From the vibrant desert sunsets over the Sonoran and the red rock splendor of nearby Sedona to the breathtaking vistas at the Grand Canyon and the serene beauty of Saguaro National Park, Arizona invites you to recharge between assignments. Inside Phoenix itself, you’ll discover a thriving metropolitan scene with cultural richness, culinary diversity, and a calendar full of arts, sports, and community events. Whether you’re taking in a sunrise hike, exploring urban neighborhoods, or enjoying starlit desert skies, the location offers a unique balance of outdoor recreation, cosmopolitan amenities, and relaxing downtime after intense shifts.
Location benefits extend beyond the city limits of Phoenix. You’ll practice in high‑acuity ICU units equipped with advanced technology, enabling you to refine ventilator strategies, arterial line management, and complex patient trajectories in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. For travelers, there is the appeal of working in a major market while maintaining the freedom to explore other locations across the U.S. through short assignments and extended opportunities. Expect competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,018 to $2,158, with a guaranteed minimum of 24 hours per week, and the flexibility to pursue longer engagements or additional shifts as your schedule and preferences permit. We provide robust housing assistance and 24/7 support as you travel, ensuring you’re never alone on the road and that you always have access to clinical governance, credentialing resources, and operational guidance.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to support your growth within the ICU specialty. You’ll be responsible for: assessing and prioritizing critical care needs; implementing and adjusting complex treatment plans; delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based nursing care; performing rapid response and crisis intervention when needed; titrating vasoactive infusions, managing sedation and analgesia, and adjusting care plans in response to patient status and laboratory trends; leading handoffs with precision during shift changes; mentoring junior staff and student nurses; participating in rounds and contributing to family‑centered care discussions. Your professional development will be supported through structured orientation, ongoing clinical education, and opportunities to progress along an ICU career ladder, including potential clinical specialization and leadership tracks. In addition to clinical growth, you’ll enjoy benefits designed to attract and retain top talent: sign‑on bonuses where applicable, comprehensive housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that let you extend your stay with trusted teams if you’re thriving in your role. With 24/7 support from our traveling team, you’ll have real‑time assistance for credentialing, scheduling, and clinical questions, ensuring you can focus on patient care while we handle the operational details.
The company’s values center on empowering staff and fostering a culture of excellence. You’ll join a community that prioritizes career advancement, supportive mentorship, and a respectful, collaborative work environment. Leaders are committed to your success, offering resources for continuing education, skill diversification, and pathways to leadership roles within ICU services as you gain experience across varied units and patient populations. The organization understands travel nursing can be transformative, and it actively cultivates a sense of belonging, recognition, and professional purpose across all assignments.
If you’re ready to bring your ICU expertise to Phoenix while preserving the flexibility to explore other parts of the country, this opportunity is crafted for you. Apply now to join a company that values your contributions and invests in your ongoing professional development. This role is ideal for an ICU RN who thrives under pressure, believes in teamwork, and seeks to make a measurable impact on patients’ lives while enjoying the benefits of travel nursing and a supportive network.
