Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in PACU, with a focus on Seaside, Oregon. Beginning January 19, 2026, this contract invites you to apply your expertise in post-anesthesia care while enjoying a flexible schedule spanning multiple weeks. In this role, you’ll be pivotal in guiding patients from anesthesia recovery to stable baseline, ensuring comfort, safety, and clear communication with the surgical team. You’ll lead the way in monitoring vitals, managing airway and respiratory status, controlling pain with precision, and implementing individualized recovery plans. Your hands-on skills will be matched by your ability to educate patients and families about recovery milestones, discharge criteria, and post- operative care instructions. This opportunity isn’t just about a routine shift; it’s about shaping a patient’s pathway to wellness in a fast-paced perioperative environment, where teamwork, critical thinking, and compassionate care intersect to deliver exceptional outcomes. Seaside offers a serene coastal backdrop where you can recharge after intense days, knowing your contributions help patients regain their strength and confidence, one breath and one step at a time. Beyond the role, you’ll join a community that values your dedication and supports your professional growth as you navigate various clinical settings.

Location benefits go beyond the hospital walls. Seaside, perched along Oregon’s famed coast, is renowned for its classic lighthouse views, breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific, and a climate that invites outdoor exploration year-round. Imagine stepping off shift and strolling along sandy beaches, hiking coastal trails, or sampling fresh seafood at local markets. The area provides a balanced environment where high-quality care meets a high-quality lifestyle. For those who crave broader experiences, our national travel program offers opportunities to work in multiple locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining the stability of a reputable support network. You’ll benefit from streamlined housing assistance, competitive compensation, and connections to facilities that value your expertise in PACU care. The ability to rotate through partner hospitals means you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient demographics, hospital protocols, and perioperative teams, which accelerates your clinical mastery and broadens your professional portfolio.

Role specifics and benefits align with a nurse driven to excel in PACU care. Core responsibilities include vigilant monitoring during post-anesthesia recovery, including airway assessment, oxygenation optimization, hemodynamic stability, pain management, and continuous reassessment of recovery progress. You’ll document clinical findings accurately, communicate with anesthesiologists and surgeons to adjust recovery plans, and advocate for patient safety at every step. You’ll coordinate PACU workflows, prioritize high-acuity cases, and contribute to rapid, safe transitions to the next level of care or discharge. The position offers substantial professional growth through exposure to varied surgical specialties, evolving anesthesia techniques, and evidence-based recovery protocols. In addition to competitive weekly pay of $2,414 to $2,541, the role features a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that allow you to continue contributing your expertise to multiple facilities if you choose. You’ll enjoy comprehensive support, including a dedicated travel team and 24/7 assistance as you navigate assignments, travel logistics, housing, and onboarding. Our aim is to remove barriers so you can focus on patient care while discovering new locales and cultures along the way.
