Fairfield, IA
Contracted
Jefferson County Health Center
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Registered Nurse specializing in Med Surg in Fairfield, Iowa, starting 03/09/2026. This multi-week assignment is designed for compassionate clinicians who want to make a measurable difference in patient outcomes, with the security of a structured schedule, supportive team, and a pathway to ongoing professional growth. Picture yourself guiding adult patients through complex medical conditions, managing post-operative recovery, and coordinating care with families and multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, timely discharges. Beyond the bedside, you’ll feel the pride of serving in a state known for its warm communities and scenic landscapes, where farmland meets vibrant small-town culture, and where weekend escapes to rivers, parks, and cultural events are part of life.
Location Benefits: Fairfield offers a welcoming community with a lower cost of living, easy access to regional healthcare networks, and the chance to immerse yourself in a tight-knit Midwest environment. For those who enjoy exploring, Iowa’s varied landscape—from rolling farmland and quiet prairies to winding rivers and state parks—provides countless opportunities to recharge after shifts. And for nurses who crave variety, the assignment includes the possibility to work in additional U.S. locations, opening doors to new clinical settings, diverse patient populations, and expanding professional networks while maintaining the same high standards of support and safety you expect.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Med Surg RN, you’ll provide direct, evidence-based nursing care to adult medical-surgical patients. Your responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessments, accurate medication administration, IV therapy, wound and ostomy care, post-surgical monitoring, early detection of complications, and proactive discharge planning. You’ll collaborate with physicians, case managers, physical therapists, pharmacists, and family members to tailor care plans, advocate for patient needs, and educate patients and caregivers for home recovery. The role offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth, including orientation into unit protocols, exposure to acute care pathways, and potential advancement into leadership or specialty tracks within Med Surg. The package is designed to be competitive and comprehensive: a weekly pay range of 2,170 to 2,222, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, plus a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the assignment. You’ll find a robust network of resources and pathways to expand your expertise, from evidence-based practice rounding to mentorship programs and ongoing education stipends.
Support and Company Values: Our company is anchored in empowering staff to excel, with a culture of collaboration, transparency, and continuous learning. You’ll receive 24/7 support from a dedicated travel healthcare team to address scheduling needs, clinical questions, or travel logistics, ensuring you feel secure and cared for while you focus on patient care. The organization prioritizes a respectful, inclusive work environment, ongoing career advancement, and sustainable work-life balance, recognizing that your development enhances patient outcomes and strengthens the communities you serve.
