Travel Registered Nurse Med Surg Job
Lincoln, ME
Contracted
Penobscot Valley Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative travel nursing chapter as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg, anchored in Lincoln, Maine, with the opportunity to extend your impact across diverse hospital settings coast to coast. This role invites seasoned Med Surg professionals to deliver thoughtful, evidence-based care to adult patients, build robust care plans, and collaborate with physicians, therapists, and discharge teams to guide patients from admission to safe, informed transitions home. If you value autonomy within a structured, supportive system and enjoy making a tangible difference in people’s lives, this assignment is designed for you. Start February 27, 2026, with guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,918 to $2,034, backed by comprehensive support and the chance to extend your engagement beyond the initial period. The position offers a pathway to deepen clinical proficiency, broaden your patient population exposure, and grow within a network that celebrates your expertise and dedication.
Maine offers more than a clinical opportunity; it offers a way of life. Lincoln sits amid rolling countryside and close to pristine lakes, forests, and charming coastal escapes—ideal for weekend explorations after a rewarding shift. You can savor fresh seafood from the Atlantic, autumn foliage along quiet back roads, and the friendly, safe communities that make this state feel like home. Our program also provides the possibility to travel to additional U.S. locations, exposing you to varied hospital cultures, patient populations, and clinical challenges that sharpen your skills while expanding your professional network. The arrangement blends stable, reliable employment with the excitement of travel, giving you the chance to build memories in new places while keeping your hands-on clinical practice sharp and meaningful.
On the floor, you’ll perform standard Med Surg duties with a patient-first approach: comprehensive assessments, vital signs monitoring, wound care, IV therapy, medication administration, early mobility and fall prevention, telemetry when indicated, and collaborative care planning. You’ll coordinate with interdisciplinary teams to implement treatment plans, document meticulously, and educate patients and families for discharge readiness. The role emphasizes growth: eligibility for specialty certifications, leadership pathways, and opportunities to serve as a preceptor for new hires or fellow travel nurses. We recognize the value of flexibility, offering a bonus component, housing assistance, and contract extensions to align with your career goals. Expect a robust support structure, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company, so help is just a call away, day or night. With guaranteed hours and a consistent schedule, you can maintain professional momentum while enjoying the freedom of travel, the chance to rotate through units, and the ability to explore Maine’s medical communities as you expand your clinical toolkit. If you’re motivated by patient advocacy, high-quality outcomes, and the opportunity to mentor others, this role is designed to amplify your impact.
Our company is rooted in empowering staff—investing in your career advancement while sustaining a collaborative, respectful work environment. You’ll find mentoring, regular feedback, and access to continuing education resources designed to enhance clinical expertise and leadership capabilities. The culture is built on reliability, open communication, and a shared commitment to patient-centered care. Our travel nurses aren’t just workers; they’re essential teammates who bring diverse experiences to the bedside, enrich teams, and help facilities deliver high-quality outcomes. You’ll have access to a supportive operations team, onboarding resources, and a network of peers who share best practices, enabling you to stay current with evolving med-surg protocols, patient safety standards, and care coordination strategies. The environment is designed to honor work-life balance, acknowledge your professional milestones, and provide pathways to advanced roles within the broader healthcare ecosystem.
If you’re ready to elevate your Med Surg nursing practice while exploring new places, this is an exciting opportunity to join a company that values your contributions and supports your professional development. Apply now to secure a role starting February 27, 2026, and begin a travel experience that blends clinical excellence with personal growth, generous compensation, and ongoing support. You’ll be part of a team that respects your voice, invests in your growth, and provides the resources you need to thrive—both at the bedside and in your personal life. Let’s shape the future of Med Surg care together, one patient at a time, while discovering Maine’s hidden gems and broader horizons across the U.S.
Note: The listed pay and hours are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
