Mid Level
Introduction
Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Cardiac Critical Care (CCU) in Herrin, Illinois, and imagine the impact you can have on patients at critical moments. This is your opportunity to bring expert life-sustaining care to the most vulnerable, while growing within a fast-paced, highly regarded CCU team. As you care for patients recovering from complex cardiac events, you’ll also contribute to a culture of precision, empathy, and continuous learning. Illinois invites you to experience its diverse rhythm—from tranquil small-town horizons to vibrant urban pockets within a few hours’ drive. In this state of wide skies and scenic byways, you’ll explore places that inspire and rejuvenate, including the rolling landscapes of southern Illinois near Shawnee National Forest, the dramatic views at Garden of the Gods, and the serene expanses of state parks that invite outdoor reflection after intensive shifts. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to shape patient outcomes, elevate your clinical expertise, and savor the unique beauty of a region that values dedication, resilience, and compassionate care.
Location Benefits
Herrin blends small-town warmth with access to exceptional clinical opportunities. Work where community matters, where your presence supports families during critical moments, and where professional collaboration thrives in a close-knit environment. Herrin’s convenient location unlocks the rich experiences of southern Illinois—sun-drenched drives along scenic byways, weekend explorations in neighboring towns, and easy reach to larger hubs for additional amenities, dining, and cultural events. The role also opens the door to the broader U.S. travel experience, with the potential to rotate through diverse settings across the country, enjoying different hospital cultures, patient populations, and CCU challenges that sharpen your skills and expand your professional perspective. Whether you choose to anchor in Herrin for the duration of the assignment or extend to additional locations, you’ll benefit from a supportive network that keeps you connected to home while you explore.
Role Specifics and Benefits
In this CCU travel assignment, you’ll lead and participate in the critical management of patients with complex cardiac conditions, including post-operative care for cardiac surgeries, acute coronary syndromes, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring. Core responsibilities include telemetry oversight, timely administration and adjustment of medications, ventilator and invasive monitoring management, rapid response in deteriorating scenarios, and effective communication with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes. You’ll partner with physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation teams to coordinate comprehensive care plans, discharge planning, and family education. The role is designed for growth: you’ll have opportunities to pursue Cardiac or Critical Care certifications, develop leadership within the unit, and broaden your expertise across different CCU models, further enhancing your bedside and collaborative skills. In recognition of your expertise, this assignment features competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,891 to $2,027, plus the potential for a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease your transition. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to continue contributing to high-acuity care while building a longer arc of professional advancement. We know travel is demanding—that’s why you’ll have 24/7 support from our dedicated team to help with housing, logistics, credentialing, and on-the-ground needs, so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care. The package is designed to be comprehensive, with reliable scheduling and the flexibility to adapt as you meet evolving clinical challenges.
