Mid Level
Step into a purpose‑driven role as a Registered Nurse in Med Surg Tele, based in Rochester, New York, with a start date of February 9, 2026. This multi‑week assignment is designed to elevate your telemetry‑driven nursing practice while delivering compassionate, patient‑centered care to a diverse hospital population. Imagine a pace that challenges your clinical judgment, refines your assessment skills, and strengthens your need to mentor and educate patients and families. Every shift is an opportunity to impact lives—through precise monitoring, timely interventions, and thoughtful discharge planning. And when you’re not on the floor, you’ll be surrounded by New York’s upstate beauty: shimmering lakes, the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes region, seasonal color bursts, thriving dining and arts scenes, and inviting neighborhoods that welcome you to explore and unwind after demanding days. Rochester’s blend of professional rigor and natural charm creates a backdrop where you can excel and recharge.
Location benefits stretch beyond a single city.

Maintain meticulous documentation within electronic medical records, uphold infection prevention practices, and participate in daily huddles to ensure cohesive, patient‑centered care.
- Growth opportunities: Deepen expertise in telemetry with a clear path toward leadership roles such as charge nurse or preceptor. Access specialty certifications, advanced training modules, and mentorship programs designed to accelerate your professional development and recognize your contributions to patient care.

- Comprehensive support: Benefit from 24/7 dedicated travel support as you move between assignments, assistance with licensure and credentialing, coordinated travel logistics, and a responsive clinician liaison who understands the realities of traveling healthcare. This program is built to reduce administrative friction and keep you focused on delivering quality care.
