Ardent Health Services Portneuf Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a rewarding role as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg in Pocatello, Idaho, and bring your calm expertise to a high‑quality surgical and medical unit where every patient counts. This travel opportunity invites you to deliver compassionate, evidence‑based care while you help patients recover, discharge safely, and regain independence. In Med Surg, your days will be dynamic and varied: you’ll perform comprehensive assessments, monitor evolving conditions, administer medications with precision, manage IV therapies, interpret labs, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to craft and adjust care plans. You’ll mentor newer nurses and support staff, model best practices, and advocate for patients and families at critical moments. Imagine the impact of your clinical decisions, your bedside presence, and your ability to translate complex information into clear, compassionate guidance for patients and their loved ones. And beyond the unit, Idaho’s beauty awaits—majestic mountain vistas, expansive skies, and outdoor adventures just a short drive away. From the rugged charm of Craters of the Moon National Monument to the serene trails along nearby streams and the welcoming parks around Pocatello, you’ll find time to recharge and explore between shifts. The state’s diverse landscapes offer a refreshing backdrop to a demanding, yet deeply rewarding career.
Location Benefits: Working in Pocatello places you in a community that values healthcare excellence, fosters collegial collaboration, and supports a balanced lifestyle. You’ll enjoy a welcoming, affordable environment with access to good schools, vibrant local culture, and a range of outdoor activities—from hiking and biking to fishing and winter sports. As a travel RN, you also have the opportunity to broaden your horizons by rotating to partner facilities across the United States, gaining exposure to different patient populations, protocols, and care models. This variety not only sharpens your clinical judgment but also expands your professional network, strengthens your resume, and enhances career mobility. While you establish roots in Idaho, you’ll carry the flexibility to experience new cities, regions, and hospital cultures, all while maintaining the security of a supported travel program. Our team provides comprehensive onboarding, ongoing clinical mentorship, and access to 24/7 support to ensure you feel confident and prepared wherever your assignments take you.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Med Surg RN, you’ll be responsible for delivering direct patient care to a broad spectrum of medical and post‑operative patients. Core duties include performing thorough head‑to‑toe assessments, implementing individualized care plans, administering medications and IV therapies, monitoring vital signs, and interpreting lab results to detect early signs of deterioration. You’ll participate in daily rounds, coordinate with physicians, physical therapists, and social work to ensure smooth transitions of care, and document meticulously in the electronic medical record. Your critical thinking and quick decision‑making will help anticipate complications, respond to emergencies, and communicate clearly with families about diagnosis, treatment options, and discharge planning. The role offers substantial professional growth: you’ll expand your proficiency with wound care, pain management, oncologic and geriatric considerations, and rapidly evolving post‑surgical protocols. You’ll have a pathway to leadership roles on the unit, opportunities to participate in quality improvement initiatives, and access to continuing education to stay at the forefront of Med Surg nursing. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to reduce living costs, and potential extension opportunities to continue your journey with our trusted partner facilities. While traveling, you’ll receive 24/7 support from our dedicated team, ensuring you have real‑time help with clinical questions, housing logistics, or any travel adjustments. The assignment details show a weekly pay range of $1,542 to $1,623, with the duration measured in weeks and a flexible approach to hours as you engage with multiple facilities. The program emphasizes consistency and reliability, but please note that guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0 in the initial data; your actual weekly schedule will be confirmed during the hiring process and aligned with facility needs. You will, however, benefit from transparent communication and a predictable compensation framework built around your skills and the assigned unit needs.
Company Values: Our company is dedicated to empowering nursing professionals to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, patient‑centered work environment. We are committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, respect, and continuous learning, where every nurse can pursue specialty growth, leadership development, and mastery of complex clinical scenarios.

Our mission is to create an environment where nurses feel valued, heard, and equipped to deliver exemplary care, every shift of every day.
Call to Action: If you’re a compassionate, proactive RN ready to make a meaningful difference in Med Surg—and to explore the rich landscapes of Idaho while broadening your clinical horizons—this is your invitation. Start date is 01/19/2026, with assignments measured in weeks and weekly compensation within the stated range.
