Step into a rewarding role as a Registered Nurse in Medical-Surgical (Med Surg) care, where compassionate expertise meets real-world impact in State College, Pennsylvania. Starting 01/12/2026, you’ll join a team dedicated to patient-centered outcomes, elevating care on busy floors and guiding families through challenging conversations. In Med Surg, every shift offers the chance to sharpen your clinical judgment, coordinate complex care plans, and mentor peers in essential skills like wound assessment, telemetry monitoring, and safe medication administration. Pennsylvania’s State College region offers more than a great hospital floor; it’s a gateway to outdoor beauty and cultural richness—from scenic valleys and rolling hills to trails and rivers just a short drive away. And for those with a curiosity about travel, these roles open a pathway to experience other parts of the U.S. while continuing to apply your med-surg expertise.
Location benefits: State College provides access to strong health systems, supportive leadership, and a university-town environment that blends professional collaboration with community life. You’ll work with diverse patient populations, exposure to a wide range of med-surg presentations, and continuity of care that reinforces evidence-based practice. Our nationwide travel program also invites you to experience assignments in multiple locations across the country—urban centers, suburban hospitals, and regional facilities—helping you broaden clinical perspectives, build resilience, and expand your professional network while keeping your core focus on Med Surg nursing.
Role specifics and benefits: In this role you’ll assess and reassess patient status, monitor vitals and labs, administer medications, perform procedures as assigned, and coordinate care with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams. You’ll participate in discharge planning, patient education, and family teaching, ensuring safe transitions and adherence to infection control and safety protocols. There’s opportunity for growth within Med Surg through hands-on leadership, specialty certifications, and targeted training offered during assignments. We offer competitive pay with weekly wages from $1,770 to $1,848 and guaranteed hours of 36 per week. A sign-on bonus, robust housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions add further value to your pathway. A dedicated 24/7 support team stands beside you as you travel, providing onboarding help, real-time guidance, and wellness resources so you feel supported at every step.
Company values: Our organization is built to empower nursing professionals—fostering clear paths for advancement, ongoing education, mentorship, and recognition for excellence. We’re committed to a respectful, collaborative, and inclusive work environment where your skills are nurtured and your contributions matter. Whether you’re anchoring a Med Surg unit or expanding your horizon across facilities, you’ll find a culture that prioritizes patient outcomes, staff well-being, and professional growth.
