Clarkston, WA
Contracted
Tri-State
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Clarkston, Washington, beginning 01/28/2026 for a weeks-long contract that offers meaningful patient impact, professional growth, and the chance to explore one of the Pacific Northwest’s most inviting regions. In PCU, you’ll deliver high-touch, intermediate-acuity care—monitoring telemetry, supporting post-acute recovery, managing IV therapies, coordinating complex medication regimens, and guiding families through education and discharge planning. You’ll work with a collaborative team to stabilize patients, anticipate needs, and elevate the standard of care at a moment when careful monitoring and compassionate presence make all the difference. Envision the difference you can make in a tight-knit community hospital setting while enjoying the natural beauty and outdoor adventures that define Washington’s Northwest charm.
Clarkston sits along the Snake River in southeast Washington, just across from Lewiston, Idaho. This location offers a balance of small-town warmth and convenient access to larger regional centers, including Spokane, WA, and Pullman, WA. Clarkston’s riverfront surroundings invite evening strolls along the water, while day trips reveal the state’s diverse attractions: the rugged beauty of the nearby Palouse hills, the snow-dusted peaks of the Cascades, and the growing arts, dining, and wine experiences in Washington’s renowned wine country. Washington’s landscapes—from lush green forests to dramatic river canyons—provide an inspiring backdrop for daily work and weekend explorations. The location benefits extend to exposure to a broad patient mix, opportunities to engage with community health initiatives, and the chance to grow your professional network in a region that values skilled nursing and patient-centered care.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Core responsibilities include providing direct bedside care to PCU patients, continuous telemetry monitoring, timely administration of medications, assessment and documentation of clinical status, initial and ongoing care planning, and coordinating with physicians and allied health teams. You’ll participate in patient and family education, prepare and execute safe discharge plans, and contribute to quality improvement efforts that enhance patient outcomes.
- The role offers robust professional growth within the PCU specialty: expand telemetry proficiency, refine critical thinking in intermediate care, develop leadership skills through preceptorship or charge-based opportunities, and pursue specialty certifications with supportive internal pathways.
- Competitive benefits highlighted for this assignment include a weekly pay range of $1,217-$1,260 and guaranteed 36.0 hours per week, with housing assistance to ease transition and living arrangements during your assignment. There are extension opportunities that allow you to continue your contract beyond the initial period, enabling continuity of care for patients and ongoing development of your clinical competencies.
- A strong support system accompanies you throughout travel with the company. You’ll have access to 24/7 assistance and a dedicated support team ready to help with orientation, credentialing, shift logistics, and any on-site needs that arise, ensuring you can focus on patient care and professional excellence.
- The role emphasizes a patient- and family-centered approach, collaborative teamwork, and a commitment to safety, with resources that empower you to deliver compassionate care and measurable outcomes in a dynamic hospital setting.
