Step into a rewarding journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) in Watertown, New York, where your expertise translates into meaningful patient outcomes and a community that values every patient’s recovery. This assignment places you at the center of high-acuity care, balancing observation and intervention for adults who are transitioning from acute care to stability. Your leadership, clinical judgment, and compassionate communication will guide fragile patients and their families through critical moments with clarity and assurance. As you bring your skills to this vibrant region, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore New York’s diverse landscapes—from tranquil riverside walks to scenic foothills—adding a sense of discovery to every assignment.
Watertown blends a supportive healthcare ecosystem with a welcoming small-town atmosphere, making it a prime setting for focused, high-quality nursing practice. You’ll benefit from a collaborative environment, streamlined access to specialty resources, and the chance to work with seasoned teams committed to excellence in patient care. For those who crave broader professional horizons, this role can serve as a gateway to multiple locations across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire while maintaining a consistent, reliable schedule. The arrangement includes guaranteed hours and a transparent start date, complemented by competitive compensation and a path to ongoing opportunities that align with your long-term goals.

You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,279 to $2,406, recognizing the advanced skill set you bring to PCU patients who require diligent monitoring, nuanced assessment, and timely clinical decision-making. Responsibilities center on delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care: continuous vital sign surveillance, telemetry interpretation, and management of hemodynamic stability; medication administration and infusion therapy; wound and drain care; airway support and oxygen therapy as needed; and proactive collaboration with physicians, charge nurses, and rehabilitation teams to craft individualized care plans. You’ll engage in patient and family education, discharge planning, and the coordination of post-acute pathways to support smooth transitions. The role also invites participation in unit-based quality improvement initiatives, professional development activities, and the expansion of critical care competencies within a supportive framework.
A standout feature of this opportunity is the holistic support available to traveling nurses.
