McLaren Northern Michigan
Mid Level
Step into a high-impact ICU nursing role that blends clinical mastery with compassionate care, right in Petoskey, Michigan. As a Registered Nurse specializing in the ICU, you will be at the forefront of life-saving interventions, guiding critically ill patients through complex trajectories, and supporting families with clear communication and steady leadership. This travel assignment is designed to honor your expertise in hemodynamics, ventilator management, and rapid decision-making while inviting you to experience the rich beauty of Michigan’s northern shorelines and vibrant communities. You’ll leave a lasting imprint on patients during their most vulnerable moments, while discovering how your dedication elevates entire teams. Separately, you can immerse yourself in Michigan’s scenic splendors—towering dunes along Lake Michigan, serene waterfronts, charming small towns, and four-season outdoor adventures that invite you to recharge between shifts.
Location Benefits: Petoskey captivates with a waterfront charm that blends small-town warmth with access to outdoor recreation at every turn. Stroll along the historic Gaslight District, savor pristine views of Little Traverse Bay, explore public parks, or take a short drive to Boyne Mountain for winter adventures and alpine activities. The area offers a welcoming healthcare community, a manageable size that fosters close collaboration, and a pace that supports work-life balance. For those who crave broader opportunities, this program also opens possibilities to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while maintaining a stable schedule and predictable guaranteed hours. You’ll experience diverse patient populations and clinical environments, from metropolitan teaching hospitals to regional centers, each offering unique case mixes that sharpen critical thinking, refine advanced nursing skills, and deepen clinical confidence—all while benefiting from a consistent orientation, standardized practices, and robust support networks.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this ICU RN role, you will deliver high-acuity care to critically ill patients, including initial assessments, invasive line management, ventilator support, vasopressor/pressor drips, continuous hemodynamic monitoring, and rapid response coordination. You’ll participate in multi-disciplinary rounds, implement evidence-based protocols for sepsis, ARDS, shock, and respiratory failure, and collaborate with intensivists, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and case managers to optimize patient outcomes. Documentation, patient safety, and family education are core responsibilities, with opportunities to lead care planning and mentor junior staff. This position supports professional growth within critical care through access to continuing education, specialty certifications, and mentorship programs designed to elevate your clinical leadership. The package includes a competitive weekly pay range of $2,117–$2,216, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and the opportunity to renew or extend the assignment, depending on unit needs and performance. A sign-on-style bonus is available where applicable, and housing assistance is provided to reduce relocation stress. We also offer contract extensions that allow you to deepen your relationships within the healthcare system and broaden your ICU expertise. Comprehensive company support is available 24/7 for travelers, ensuring you have dependable assistance on shifts, during transitions, and whenever you need guidance or troubleshooting while you’re on the road. Your Start Date is 01/05/2026, and the position runs for a contract measured in weeks, with flexible options to extend based on hospital demand and clinical fit.
