Contracted
Adventist Health White Memorial
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ICU nursing role in one of California’s most dynamic healthcare hubs. As an ICU Registered Nurse launching a travel assignment beginning 01/05/2026, you will deliver life-saving, high-stakes care to critically ill patients while your specialized skills are refined and recognized by a compassionate, expert clinical team. This opportunity is crafted to elevate your practice in a high-acuity environment, where every assessment, intervention, and collaboration can shift outcomes. In California’s sun-kissed landscape, your work is amplified by a population that drives innovation and demands excellence. Between shifts, you’ll have the chance to savor the coastal breeze along the Pacific, explore the cultural richness of vibrant cities, and witness the scenic beauty of the state—from the serene beaches of the coast to the awe-inspiring mountain vistas of the Sierra. It’s a setting that nurtures both professional growth and personal well-being, inviting you to bring your full self to work and to the many experiences that California offers.
Location benefits go beyond the hospital doors. In Los Angeles, you’ll be immersed in a thriving medical scene with access to world-class institutions, advanced technologies, and multidisciplinary teams dedicated to delivering exceptional critical care. The city’s dynamic mix of healthcare facilities means exposure to diverse patient cases, innovative procedures, and opportunities to collaborate with leaders shaping the future of ICU practice. The travel-focused model also gives you the exciting option to work across multiple facilities within the U.S., expanding your professional portfolio while you build an expansive network and gain versatility that strengthens every clinical decision you make. You’ll enjoy competitive compensation with weekly pay in the range of $1,991-$2,080, as well as supportive logistics that keep you focused on care. Housing assistance helps relieve logistical burdens, and the potential for contract extensions means you can continue advancing in the specialty you love. While the assignment is anchored in the Los Angeles area, the flexibility to explore other top-tier centers adds a unique dimension to your career journey. And remember, the provided hours are variable, with the travel schedule designed to accommodate the needs of busy ICUs and the preferences of skilled professionals like you.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to maximize your impact and development. Core responsibilities include vigilant management of critically ill patients in the ICU, including ventilated individuals, hemodynamic monitoring, timely medication administration, and proactive response to code events. You’ll collaborate with physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and bedside nurses to optimize patient trajectories, participate in daily rounds, and contribute to evidence-based practice improvements. Your role will emphasize meticulous documentation, adherence to ICU protocols, infection control, and patient-family communication, ensuring that care is not only technically proficient but also compassionate. This travel opportunity places you in settings that challenge you to expand your critical care repertoire—whether you prefer high-acuity trauma centers, tertiary care facilities, or regional hospitals with strong ICU teams. The position offers professional growth pathways, including access to specialty certifications, mentorship from experienced ICU leaders, and exposure to complex cases that sharpen diagnostic acumen and therapeutic judgment. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a robust package that includes a competitive weekly pay range, a signing or performance-based bonus, and housing assistance to simplify logistics. Extension opportunities are available, allowing you to deepen your impact in units that align with your interests and strengths. The company provides 24/7 support while traveling, ensuring you have round-the-clock access to guidance, crisis response, and operational help when you need it most. Scheduling remains contract-based and week-to-week, with the Total Hours worked determined by unit demand, patient census, and your professional availability, as reflected in the understanding that Guaranteed Hours = 0.0. Please note that the displayed pay and hours are estimates and may vary; final compensation and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
