Travel Registered Nurse PACU Job
Hiram, GA
Contracted
Wellstar Paulding Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in PACU located in Hiram, Georgia, where every patient recovery represents a meaningful contribution to surgical success. In PACU you’ll be at the heart of post-anesthesia care, guiding patients from immediate wakefulness through stable vitals, comfortable pain control, and safe transition back to the floor or discharge. Your clinical vigilance, meticulous assessment skills, and collaborative spirit will help patients regain comfort, regain confidence in healing, and return home with dignity. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to shape outcomes, mentor teammates, and advance your expertise in a high-demand specialty. And because Georgia is a state of color and contrast, you’ll also have moments to savor the beauty of the Peach State—from the stone-sculpted trails near Atlanta to the quiet charm of countryside towns, and even day trips to mountain vistas or coastal getaways on longer rotations.
Location benefits: Your base in Hiram places you in the vibrant Atlanta metro area, offering easy access to professional networks, continuing education, and a supportive community that understands the demands of travel nursing. Hiram blends suburban comfort with proximity to major hospitals, specialty centers, and the cultural offerings of Georgia’s cities. For clinicians who love variety, this assignment also opens possibilities to work across communities within the state and across the U.S. on other short-term PACU postings, enriching your clinical portfolio, sharpening your adaptability, and expanding your professional connections. You’ll experience diverse patient populations, encounter different institutional protocols, and gain exposure to a range of anesthesia techniques. In every location, you’ll find new experiences, fresh clinical challenges, and the chance to grow while earning competitive weekly pay and a robust support network.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Key responsibilities: Provide immediate post-anesthesia surveillance, monitor airway patency and oxygenation, assess pain levels and comfort strategies, manage hemodynamics, detect early signs of post-op complications, implement rapid response protocols, administer appropriate medications under protocol, document findings accurately in the EHR, coordinate handoffs with the surgical team, and educate patients and families about post-op care and expectations.
- Professional growth: Expand PACU proficiency through exposure to varied case mixes, refine critical decision-making, and build leadership credibility in fast-paced settings. Opportunities to extend assignments let you deepen your specialty expertise and establish a track record with the company.
- Benefits you can expect: Competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,985 to $2,055, along with a bonus program, comprehensive housing assistance, and flexible extension opportunities to maximize continuity if you choose to stay in a preferred location. You’ll have access to seamless onboarding, credential verification support, and resource libraries designed to accelerate your success.
- Support infrastructure: 24/7 dedicated travel support, a responsive clinical liaison, and a national network of recruiters committed to removing barriers to your performance. You’ll never be alone on the road—our team is available around the clock to help with shift changes, housing requests, credential issues, or urgent scheduling adjustments.
- Scheduling clarity: This assignment has no guaranteed hours; shifts are scheduled to align with assignment needs and your availability.
Company values: The organization is built on empowering staff, prioritizing your career advancement, and cultivating a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive work environment. From onboarding through ongoing education, you’re encouraged to pursue certifications, assume mentorship roles, lead process improvements, and share best practices that enhance patient care and team morale. The culture emphasizes safety, respect, and accountability, while recognizing your contributions with transparent communication and real opportunities to elevate your professional profile.
Call to action: If you’re ready to apply your PACU expertise in a role that blends clinical impact with personal growth, this assignment invites you to join a company that values your contribution and supports your development. Take the next step today to secure a weeks-long rotation starting January 20, 2026, with the potential for extension and further opportunities across the U.S. and Georgia. Embrace the chance to work in a dynamic team, explore beautiful places, and deliver compassionate, evidence-based post-anesthesia care.
