MVHS Wynn Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Med Surg in Utica, New York, where your clinical expertise will translate into tangible outcomes for patients every day. This is more than a job—it's a chance to lead with compassion, apply your critical thinking, and collaborate with a dedicated care team to elevate the standard of inpatient medicine. In Med Surg, you’ll be at the forefront of patient-centered care, balancing acute needs with comprehensive education and discharge planning to improve recovery trajectories and patient satisfaction. Starting March 23, 2026, you’ll step into a role designed for growth, stability, and meaningful impact across a series of weeks with the potential for extension as your skills and interests mature. You’ll earn competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,090 to $2,143, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring dependable income as you invest in your professional future. This opportunity also includes housing assistance and a robust benefits package to support you and your family from day one.
Utica and the broader Upstate New York region offer more than a clinical ladder; they provide a rich context for personal and professional enrichment. The city blends historic architecture, vibrant community life, and access to nature that renews the spirit after demanding shifts. You’ll enjoy affordable living in a region renowned for its charming neighborhoods, local cuisine, and cultural events, all set against the backdrop of the Mohawk Valley. The state’s natural beauty is within arm’s reach—from the tranquil shores of nearby lakes to the scenic trails of the Adirondack foothills, enabling you to recharge with hiking, skiing, or a scenic drive after a busy week. If you ever crave a broader adventure, the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States remains a possibility, offering you a diverse lens on patient care, new clinical environments, and the chance to expand your professional network while maintaining your core commitments and support system.
In this Med Surg RN role, your day-to-day responsibilities will center on high-quality inpatient care for adults with medical and post-surgical needs. You’ll perform comprehensive assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications and IV therapies, manage wound care, and assist with a broad range of procedures. You’ll lead patient-centered care planning, collaborate closely with physicians, residents, PT/OT teams, social workers, and case managers, and contribute to timely discharge planning and education for patients and families. You’ll document meticulously in the electronic medical record, ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards, and advocate for safety and quality at every step. The role offers a clear pathway for professional growth: pursue certifications such as ACLS/Basic Life Support, explore specialty training within medical-surgical care, or step into charge nurse or shift leadership roles as you demonstrate clinical excellence and teamwork. We support you with ongoing orientation, mentorship, and structured feedback to accelerate your advancement in a supportive, collaborative environment.
We understand the importance of a holistic workplace that not only values your clinical acumen but also your well-being and career aspirations. Our company is grounded in empowering staff—providing opportunities for career advancement, leadership development, and a culture that respects your voice. You’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package, including a competitive compensation structure, a sign-on or performance-based bonus when eligible, and housing assistance designed to reduce relocation stress. We also emphasize extension opportunities, giving you the security of ongoing assignments that align with your personal and professional goals. In addition, you’ll have access to 24/7 support from our travel and clinical coordination teams—dedicated professionals who help you navigate shifts, locations, and any unexpected challenges with prompt, accountable service. This level of constant support means you can focus on patient care with the assurance that you have a reliable partner at your side around the clock.
Our values are simple and actionable: we are committed to empowering you to advance your career while preserving a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative work environment. You’ll join a team that believes in mentorship, transparent communication, and shared accountability. You’ll be encouraged to contribute ideas for improved patient care processes, participate in professional development activities, and lead by example in delivering compassionate, evidence-based care. The community welcome you with warmth, a strong sense of belonging, and a work culture that recognizes your contributions and supports your growth at every stage of your nursing career.
