You’ll be part of a dedicated team that guides patients from admission through recovery, using evidence-based practice, meticulous assessment, and patient-centered communication to promote healing, safety, and comfort. In Med Surg, your day-to-day responsibilities will include complex wound and post-operative care, IV therapies, medication management, meticulous documentation, early mobility planning, and proactive discharge planning. You’ll partner with physicians, therapists, and case managers to tailor care plans, advocate for patient needs, and support families as they navigate challenges.

In this Med Surg nursing role, you’ll experience a dynamic work environment where every patient’s story informs your clinical growth. Core responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessment, early recognition of evolving conditions, post-surgical care, pain management, and coordination with multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe transitions from hospital to next levels of care. You’ll implement evidence-based protocols for infection prevention, patient safety, and temperature regulation, and you’ll participate in rounds, patient education, and family conferences. The position emphasizes professional development—there are clear pathways to advance within the Med Surg specialty, with opportunities for cross-training, leadership experiences, and continued education that align with your career goals. To support your journey, this assignment offers a competitive compensation package, including a weekly pay range of $2,208–$2,259 and guaranteed hours of 36 per week.
