Step into a rewarding role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Medical-Surgical care in Utica, New York, where every shift offers the opportunity to impact lives through compassionate, evidence-based practice. As a Med Surg RN on a dynamic, fast-paced unit, you’ll advocate for patients facing complex medical needs, coordinate care across disciplines, and translate treatment plans into clear guidance for patients and families. Your clinical judgment will guide timely assessments, thoughtful interventions, and seamless transitions from admission to discharge. This weeks-long assignment begins on 04/13/2026, presenting a pathway to steady, meaningful work and a chance to immerse yourself in a community hospital that values teamwork, learning, and patient-centered outcomes. Beyond the hospital walls, New York state beckons with its celebrated landscapes and cultural richness—from the scenic Adirondacks to the Finger Lakes and vibrant upstate cities—offering moments of rest and inspiration during off days.

You’ll benefit from strong nurse-to-patient ratios, access to ongoing education, mentorship from seasoned Med Surg RNs, and the chance to broaden your experience while remaining close to family and community. For those who crave more variety, there are possibilities to rotate through neighboring communities and even explore other locations across the United States under our travel program, all with consistent scheduling structures and dependable support. Work in a region that honors history while investing in modern clinical excellence, where small-town warmth and big-city resources converge, creating an environment that fosters professional growth and personal balance.
Role specifics and benefits: On a Med Surg floor, your responsibilities will include comprehensive patient assessment, monitoring of vital signs and contributing data to nursing diagnoses; timely administration of medications and IV therapies with a focus on safety and accuracy; wound care, infection control, and post-surgical recovery support; telemetry monitoring when indicated; evidence-based care planning with interdisciplinary teams; patient and family education to promote understanding of diagnoses, treatments, and discharge planning; efficient documentation and compliance with regulatory standards; and proactive collaboration with physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation therapists to coordinate smooth transitions. The position offers tangible opportunities for advancement within the specialty and organization, with pathways to specialty certification, leadership tracks, and cross-unit experience that strengthen clinical proficiency and confidence. Competitive benefits are enhanced by a welcome bonus program, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the potential for contract extensions as clinical needs evolve. Our traveler program emphasizes stability and continuity, with 24/7 support from dedicated travel coordinators, clinical leads, and on-call nursing supervisors to assist you wherever you are on assignment. This assignment also includes a competitive weekly pay range of $2,180 to $2,264 with guaranteed 36 hours per week, ensuring reliable income during your time in Utica.
