URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a dynamic opportunity as a Travel Registered Nurse in Med Surg, stationed in Rochester, New York, starting 01/05/2026. This is more than a job—it's a chance to impact patient lives every shift, collaborate with a skilled interdisciplinary team, and expand your clinical horizons in a setting that blends high-level care with the warmth of the upstate community. As you weave care plans, monitor complex patient trajectories, and advocate for best practices, you’ll see your professional confidence grow while you help families navigate challenging moments with clarity and compassion. And when you’re ready to explore even more, this role opens doors to assignments across a spectrum of U.S. locations, enriching your résumé and widening your network.
Location Benefits: Rochester stands out as a vibrant hub where education, culture, and nature meet. You’ll have access to strong medical networks and ongoing learning opportunities, with the support you need to excel in Med Surg nursing. The city offers an engaging arts scene, museums, and a thriving café and dining culture, all set against a backdrop of parks, bike trails, and scenic waterfronts. For those who crave bigger adventures, this assignment also provides the flexibility to work in diverse locations across the United States, enriching clinical exposure from urban tertiary centers to community hospitals in quieter settings. Beyond the state’s borders, you’ll discover upstate beauty—from the Adirondack Mountains to the finger lakes region, from Lake Ontario’s shoreline to nearby Niagara Falls—offering weekend escapes that refresh both mind and spirit. The regional mix of healthcare facilities means exposure to a broad spectrum of cases, patient populations, and care delivery models, all while maintaining a balance that supports sustainable practice and personal well-being.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Med Surg RN in this assignment, you’ll play a pivotal role in direct patient care, including comprehensive assessments, monitoring of intricate medical conditions, IV therapies, wound care, and rapid response collaboration with physicians and ancillary staff. You’ll contribute to care planning, elevate patient safety initiatives, and participate in discharge planning to ensure smooth transitions home for patients and families. The position offers meaningful pathways for professional growth: pursue additional certifications relevant to med-surg care, gain leadership experience through unit-based initiatives, and serve as a resource or preceptor for newer team members, all while refining time management and clinical judgment in a fast-paced setting. This opportunity includes competitive benefits designed to support you throughout your contract: a sign-on or eligible bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and clear extension opportunities so you can plan your continued advancement with confidence. You’ll be part of a robust support system that understands the demands of travel nursing. Expect 24/7 dedicated support from the company, providing guidance, troubleshooting, and resource connections whenever you need them, plus assistance with onboarding, scheduling, orientation, and access to patient-care technology. The arrangement is built for professional satisfaction and personal stability, with resources to help you navigate diverse assignments while staying aligned with your career goals.
Company Values: Our partner hospitals and the travel program are guided by a commitment to empower staff, recognize expertise, and foster a culture of growth and inclusion. You’ll find a supportive environment designed to encourage ongoing education, mentorship, and clear pathways to advancement. The emphasis is on sustaining a work-life balance that respects your aspirations, complements your clinical strengths, and values your contributions to patient outcomes and team dynamics.
