Travel Registered Nurse ER Job
Arcata, CA
Contracted
Mad River Community Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as an ER Registered Nurse in Arcata, California, where every shift puts you at the heart of fast-paced, life-saving care. This role invites you to translate your clinical expertise into immediate impact—stabilizing patients in urgent moments, coordinating with urgent care teams, and guiding families through challenging pathways. In the North Coast’s serene backdrop, you’ll find a rewarding balance between high-stakes practice and a community that values you. Arcata’s welcoming neighborhoods, scenic coastline, and proximity to redwood forests create an inspiring environment for professional growth and personal renewal. This opportunity is part of a broader travel network that also offers placements across diverse locations in the United States, enabling you to broaden your clinical horizons while maintaining the strong continuity of support you deserve.
Location benefits go beyond your daily duties. Arcata combines small-town charm with cultural richness—walkable downtown, thriving farmers’ markets, local eateries, and access to Humboldt Bay and nearby state parks. The region’s temperate climate keeps outdoor adventures accessible year-round, whether you’re hiking among towering redwoods, strolling along the coast, or enjoying coastal fog mornings that sharpen your focus for the day ahead. For travel professionals, there’s the added appeal of working in different hospitals across the U.S. when you’re ready, with the same trusted support system and consistent standards that ensure you feel at home wherever you go. The Arcata posting anchors you in a genuine community while opening doors to broader experiences, professional networking, and the chance to refine your ER specialty through exposure to varied patient populations and acuity levels.
Role specifics and benefits flow from the core responsibilities of an ER RN and the ongoing opportunities to grow within the specialty. You will triage incoming emergency cases, perform rapid assessments, initiate stabilization measures, and implement evidence-based treatment plans in collaboration with physicians, respiratory therapists, and other critical care professionals. You’ll manage airway support, administer medications, interpret EKGs, obtain and interpret labs and imaging orders, and monitor patients’ hemodynamic status with precision. Education and discharge planning are integral as you empower patients and their families with clear instructions and safety considerations. Through this assignment, you’ll enhance clinical decision-making, develop proficiency with acute care protocols, and expand your repertoire in trauma, chest pain, stroke, and multisystem emergencies. The position supports professional growth through access to additional certifications, residency-style mentorship, and potential specialty tracks as you demonstrate leadership in fast-moving clinical environments. In addition to clinical duties, you’ll enjoy competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $2,132 to $2,231, a guaranteed 36 hours per week, and a contract designed for weeks with the potential for extension based on facility needs and your performance. A sign-on bonus or relocation assistance may be offered, and housing support is available to ease transitions from one location to another. You’ll also benefit from a structured orientation, physician-driven collaboration, and 24/7 support from our travel leadership team who are with you every step of the journey as you travel with the company. The combination of hands-on ER challenges, robust support, and structured growth paths makes this role an ideal fit for skilled ER nurses seeking both immediate impact and long-term advancement.
Company values emphasize empowering staff, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive, safety-first work environment. Our organization is dedicated to helping you build a meaningful, sustainable ER nursing career through ongoing education, leadership opportunities, and a culture that respects your autonomy while ensuring you’re never alone on assignment. Expect regular check-ins, access to clinical resources, collaborative problem-solving, and a clear pathway toward expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and professional initiative. The environment is designed to recognize your contributions, celebrate milestones, and invest in your well-being, with a focus on work-life balance and a sense of belonging across locations.
