Scottsbluff, NE
Contracted
Regional West Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Psychiatry, anchored in the welcoming community of Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This role is designed for driven professionals who want to weave compassionate mental health care into the fabric of a region known for its wide open skies and close-knit neighborhoods. Begin on 02/02/2026 and commit to a robust assignment with guaranteed 36 hours per week, offering a steady rhythm in a field where every shift can change a life. Weekly pay ranges from $1,255 to $1,302, reflecting the value of your expertise and the trust patients place in you. This is more than just a contract; it’s an opportunity to grow within a supportive framework while delivering evidence-based psychiatric care to diverse populations. You’ll also discover that Nebraska isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a place where persistence and warmth intersect, where your professional impact will be felt in patient outcomes, family engagement, and community resilience.
Nebraska’s spirit shines brightest in Scottsbluff, a town that pairs small-town charm with access to stunning landscapes. Imagine starting your day with a sunrise over the North Platte River, hiking or biking along scenic trails, and taking a short drive to Scotts Bluff National Monument to witness geological grandeur that has drawn travelers for generations. Nebraska’s beauty includes the towering horizons, the Niobrara River valley’s peaceful splendor, and the cultural richness of rural communities that value connection and continuity of care. You’ll enjoy a welcoming environment that emphasizes work-life balance, community gatherings, and opportunities to unwind in a region renowned for outdoor recreation, regional fairs, and farm-to-table experiences. While rooted in Scottsbluff, this role also provides the possibility to support patient care across other locations in the United States, broadening your clinical exposure and professional network while preserving the core stability you seek.
Location benefits extend beyond scenery. Working in Scottsbluff offers access to modern facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and a patient population that presents unique psychiatric needs—from crisis stabilization to ongoing outpatient treatment planning. You may also have the flexibility to work in other communities within Nebraska or across the country as part of a broader travel assignment network. This mobility is designed to enrich your clinical repertoire, from acute inpatient units to community mental health centers, while ensuring you’re backed by a network that values safety, professional standards, and continuity of care. Throughout your journey, you’ll have a chance to immerse in local culture, learn from colleagues with diverse backgrounds, and bring holistic, person-centered care to individuals navigating anxiety, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and complex behavioral health challenges.
In this role, you’ll tackle a broad scope of responsibilities that demand clinical acumen and compassionate communication. Core duties include conducting comprehensive psychiatric assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, coordinating with social workers, physicians, and therapists, and delivering crisis intervention when needed. You’ll monitor medications, manage safety planning, document thoroughly in electronic health records, and engage families in supportive education. There is ample room for professional growth: expand your expertise in psychopharmacology, trauma-informed care, or established evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT, and pursue pathways toward leadership or specialty certification. The position emphasizes collaborative care, continuous improvement, and adherence to best practices, ensuring you can translate clinical knowledge into meaningful patient outcomes while advancing your career.
The benefits package is designed to recognize your expertise and support your life outside the clinic. In addition to competitive weekly pay and guaranteed hours, you’ll find attractive options such as a signing or performance-based bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and potential contract extensions that provide continuity and opportunities for advancement. You’ll receive 24/7 support from our travel-friendly team—before, during, and after assignments—so you’re never navigating the road alone. The organization is committed to empowering its staff through structured mentorship, ongoing education, and clear career ladders that encourage you to expand your skill set, take on more responsibility, and pursue the next stage of your professional journey with confidence.
Company values center on empowerment, respect, and a culture built to help you thrive. You’ll join a mission-driven environment that places patient dignity at the core of every interaction, while cultivating a supportive workplace where colleagues uplift one another and celebrate achievements. Professional development is not an afterthought but a cornerstone, with access to training, collaboration with senior clinicians, and opportunities to lead initiatives that improve patient experience and outcomes. Your contribution will be recognized as a vital element of a growing network dedicated to improving mental health across settings, from acute care to community-based programs.
Ready to take the next step? Apply now to join a company that values your expertise, supports your growth, and shares your commitment to compassionate psychiatric care. This assignment is crafted for a skilled Psychiatric RN who wants to make a difference, explore Nebraska’s beauty, and expand their reach across the U.S. while benefiting from comprehensive, traveler-friendly support and competitive compensation. If you’re excited by the prospect of meaningful patient relationships, ongoing professional development, and a dynamic travel schedule, this is your opportunity to shine and shape the future of mental health care.
