Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job
Chico, CA
Contracted
Enloe Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ICU nursing opportunity in Chico, California, where your clinical expertise will shape outcomes for critically ill patients while you experience the unique rhythm of Northern California. As an ICU Registered Nurse, you’ll lead complex patient care with precision, compassion, and teamwork, guiding families through challenging moments and celebrating every hard-won recovery. This assignment begins December 12, 2025, and offers a solid, ongoing schedule designed to support your professional growth and personal well being. Beyond the hospital walls, discover a region renowned for its natural beauty—Bidwell Park’s expansive trails and creekside serenity, the Sierra foothills awakening just beyond the city, Lake Oroville’s shimmering waters, and a community that blends college-town energy with small-town warmth. Savor farm-to-table cuisine, artisans’ markets, and outdoor adventures during any off-shift, letting Northern California’s diverse landscapes recharge your focus for the next shift.
Location Benefits: Chico sits at the heart of California’s Great Basin corridor, offering a welcoming community atmosphere with access to top-tier healthcare facilities and a growing network of specialty clinics. The city blends affordability with a vibrant cultural scene, making it easier to establish a balanced lifestyle while you deliver expert care. In this role, you’ll work within a dynamic hospital setting that values collaboration, evidence-based practice, and continuous improvement. For travelers who crave variety, there’s the possibility to engage in assignments across locations within the U.S., expanding your clinical horizons and building a robust portfolio of critical care experiences. You’ll benefit from a supportive infrastructure designed to keep you focused on patients, not paperwork, with streamlined onboarding, reliable housing options, and 24/7 operational support to navigate any challenge that arises on the road. The Chico area also serves as a gateway to broader Northern California experiences—from scenic day trips to world-class outdoor recreation—so your off days can be just as rewarding as your on-duty hours.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an ICU RN, you’ll oversee high-acuity patients requiring continuous monitoring, ventilator management, and rapid response to rapidly evolving clinical changes. Your responsibilities will include hemodynamic support, dose titration of vasoactive medications, administration of complex therapies, participatory rounding with multidisciplinary teams, and meticulous documentation that aligns with best practices and regulatory standards. You’ll lead or collaborate on care plans for patients with sepsis, ARDS, postoperative critical care needs, and neurologic injuries, translating physician orders into precise bedside interventions. This assignment emphasizes professional growth through mentorship, ongoing education, and opportunities to refine advanced skills such as sedation management, airway optimization, and ECMO considerations where applicable. You’ll participate in performance improvement initiatives, contribute to protocol development, and engage in case reviews that sharpen diagnostic acumen and patient safety awareness.
Compensation and perks are designed to recognize your expertise and dedication: competitive weekly pay between $1,675 and $1,803, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring financial predictability even during fluctuating caseloads. A competitive bonus structure rewards performance and program milestones, reflecting the value you bring to the ICU team. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation logistics and support a comfortable, convenient living arrangement close to your assignment site. In addition, contract extensions are available, giving you the option to deepen your ICU specialization, broaden your clinical repertoire, and foster continuity in professional relationships. As you travel, you’ll have access to round-the-clock company support—24/7 availability to address housing, scheduling, clinical questions, or any unexpected needs—so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care. The combination of hospital resources, a strong ICU team, and travel-friendly logistics creates an environment where you can thrive academically, clinically, and personally.
Company Values: Our organization is committed to empowering nursing professionals to advance their careers within a supportive, inclusive culture. We believe in investing in people—offering structured growth pathways, access to continuing education credits, leadership development opportunities, and mentorship from experienced clinicians. With a philosophy centered on collaboration, transparency, and respect, we foster a work environment where ideas are heard, professional development is encouraged, and you are encouraged to pursue specialized interests that align with patient needs and personal aspirations. We value resilience, integrity, and compassionate care, recognizing that every shift is an opportunity to elevate the standard of critical care and to mentor the next generation of ICU nurses.
