Travel Registered Nurse ICU Job
Watertown, NY
Contracted
Samaritan Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal ICU nursing role in Watertown, New York, where every shift offers the opportunity to stabilize complex patients, guide families through challenging moments, and elevate critical care outcomes. As an ICU Registered Nurse, you’ll lead with clinical excellence, collaborate across disciplines, and drive swift, evidence-based decisions that transform recovery trajectories. This assignment begins on 03/23/2026 and continues for multi-week engagements, guaranteeing 36 hours per week of focused, high-impact work within a supportive, mission-driven environment. Beyond the intensive clinical experience, you’ll uncover New York’s diverse beauty—from the Adirondack uplands offering sweeping vistas to the tranquil shores of Lake Ontario and the rolling vineyards of the Finger Lakes. The state’s cultural vibrancy and abundant outdoor opportunities are a continual source of inspiration as you advance your critical care career.
Watertown provides a welcoming, tight-knit community with easy access to regional medical corridors and outdoor recreation. Working here means you can deliver life-saving care in a setting that values teamwork, compassion, and professional excellence, without sacrificing the balance you seek. For nurses who crave variety and breadth, this role also opens doors to work across multiple locations in the United States, broadening your clinical exposure, expanding your professional network, and sharpening your critical thinking in diverse patient populations—while preserving the security of guaranteed hours and a steady weekly cadence.
Role specifics and benefits begin with the core responsibilities that define an ICU RN. You’ll provide comprehensive, high-acuity patient care, including ventilator management, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive infusions, and strict adherence to sepsis and ARDS protocols. Expect to perform precise neurovascular assessments, sedation titration in collaboration with physicians and pharmacists, arterial and central line care, and rapid response team participation to optimize patient outcomes. You’ll lead rounds with multidisciplinary teams, communicate clearly with patients’ families to explain prognosis and care plans, and document meticulously to ensure seamless transitions of care. The opportunity for professional growth is central: access to specialty certification support, mentorship from seasoned ICU clinicians, and clearly defined pathways to advance into critical care leadership, quality improvement, or advanced practice tracks. To recognize commitment and performance, we offer a competitive package that includes a signing or completion bonus where applicable, in addition to housing assistance to ease relocation. We also provide extension opportunities designed to align with your long-term career goals, offering continuity for clinicians who thrive in a high-stakes environment and want to deepen their expertise.
The program emphasizes comprehensive, ongoing support that ensures you never navigate transitions alone. You’ll benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with the company, covering travel logistics, credentialing, housing arrangements, and on-site needs. This unwavering assistance is designed to let you focus on clinical excellence and patient care, secure in the knowledge that your back-end needs are handled promptly and professionally. The combination of robust clinical challenges, ample learning opportunities, and dependable support creates a setting where ICU nurses can refine critical skills, pursue certifications, and contribute to measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
Company values center on empowering staff and cultivating a culture of growth, collaboration, and resilience. Our organization is dedicated to fostering career advancement, recognizing clinical contributions, and building a supportive, inclusive environment where every nurse can thrive. We prioritize transparent communication, mentorship, and resources that help you reach your highest potential, whether you are delivering bedside care, mentoring peers, or leading quality improvement initiatives.
