Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Kealakekua, HI
Contracted
Kona Community Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as an ER Registered Nurse traveler in Hawaii, specifically Kealakekua on the breathtaking Big Island, where your expertise will save lives while you immerse yourself in a culture of warmth, resilience, and spectacular natural beauty. In this role you’ll shape patient outcomes in an environment that blends high-acuity care with the aloha spirit, enabling you to touch lives deeply while you expand your clinical footprint. Envision the impact you’ll have as you stand at the crossroads of advanced emergency medicine and the freedom to explore pristine beaches, coffee farms, and dramatic coastal landscapes that define Hawaii. If you’re ready to bring your skill set to a setting that challenges you and rewards your dedication, this is your moment. Beyond the ER doors, this state offers a tapestry of experiences—from sunrise hikes along volcanic ridges to snorkeling with vibrant reef life, from community gatherings that celebrate heritage to serene shoreline sunsets that remind you why you chose nursing. Your career can flourish here while you savor every island moment, knowing your workload supports the people who rely on you when every minute counts.
Kealakekua’s ER teams welcome travel professionals who thrive in fast-paced environments and who enjoy the unique blend of island culture and acute-care medicine. Working in this locale means you’ll be part of a cohesive network that serves a diverse patient population, including trauma, medical, and surgical emergencies. You’ll gain invaluable exposure to high-intensity cases, rapid decision-making, and collaborative care with physicians, specialists, nurses, and support staff who share a commitment to excellence. The role offers the flexibility to explore other U.S. locations through our nationwide travel opportunities, enabling you to grow your professional repertoire while enjoying the adventure of new communities and environments. Your start date is 01/19/2026, and you’ll enter a program designed to support your transition from day one with clarity, mentorship, and clear performance milestones that respect your experience and ambition.
In this ER RN role, your key responsibilities will center on delivering compassionate, expert care in emergency situations. You’ll perform rapid assessments, triage, and prioritization of care for patients presenting a spectrum of conditions—from acute trauma and chest pain to respiratory distress and infectious disease outbreaks. You’ll administer medications, monitor vital signs, and respond to code carts, all while coordinating with the broader care team to stabilize patients and prepare for transfers or admissions. Your clinical versatility will be a cornerstone as you participate in procedures, wound care, and patient education, ensuring families understand care plans and post-discharge needs. The position offers substantial room for professional growth within emergency medicine: you’ll refine critical-thinking skills, increase autonomy, and pursue specialty certifications, all while contributing to quality improvement initiatives and evidence-based practice. We recognize that travel nurses often bring fresh perspectives; you’ll be encouraged to share ideas, mentor peers, and participate in ongoing learning that advances both personal and unit-wide outcomes. The compensation package reflects this value, with a competitive weekly pay range of $3,145 to $3,260, and the opportunity to earn a completion or performance bonus that recognizes your essential role in patient care. Housing assistance is available to ease relocation and housing logistics, and we offer extension opportunities that let you build continuity with the same clinical team when you choose. In addition, you’ll benefit from comprehensive support that never sleeps: a 24/7 travel nurse help line, on-site administrative support, and structured orientation that accelerates your integration into the unit, the island, and the local community.
This program emphasizes robust benefits designed to support your wellbeing and professional trajectory. You’ll receive housing assistance or stipends to help offset lodging costs, enabling you to focus on clinical excellence rather than logistical concerns. There are extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your connections with the hospital, the patients you serve, and the team you collaborate with, promoting continuity of care and a sense of belonging. In recognition of the demanding nature of emergency nursing, you’ll access a dedicated support structure—24/7 availability from our travel support specialists, credentialing and documentation assistance, and access to continuing education resources that align with your career goals. Competitive benefits also extend to retirement planning options, flexible scheduling where possible, and a culture that values your feedback, your development, and your wellbeing. The program emphasizes practical growth pathways within emergency medicine, including mentorship from seasoned ER leaders, opportunities to lead quality improvement projects, and exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical scenarios that sharpen decision-making under pressure.
Our company is built on empowering nurses to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We champion professional development by offering structured pathways to certification, access to specialty training, and opportunities to rotate through related departments to broaden expertise. We celebrate your contributions and recognize the diverse strengths you bring to the ER team. By fostering a culture of safety, respect, and continuous learning, we aim to create workplaces where travel nurses feel valued, heard, and inspired to grow. You’ll join a community that prioritizes career progression, work-life balance, and the personal satisfaction that comes from delivering high-quality emergency care to communities that deeply need it. Our mission is to empower you to define your career on your terms, while delivering compassionate, evidence-based practice that elevates patient outcomes and strengthens the healthcare system wherever you serve.
If you’re ready to embark on this exciting chapter, apply now to join a company that truly values your contribution and supports your professional development. You’ll join a team that embraces the challenge of emergency medicine on Hawaii’s scenic shores, with the flexibility to explore additional locations as you expand your skill set. This is more than a travel assignment—it’s a gateway to meaningful work, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences in one of the world’s most captivating destinations.
