Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse on the Med Surg Tele unit in Plattsburgh, New York, where every shift is a chance to heal, teach, and grow. In this position you’ll deliver compassionate medical-surgical care on a telemetry-driven floor, translating complex patient data into clear actions that speed recovery and improve safety. You’ll collaborate with physicians, bedside teams, and case managers to design individualized care plans, monitor progress, and guide patients and families through discharge planning. Your clinical judgment will shine as you manage a spectrum of high-acuity and recovering patients, interpret rhythm strips, administer medications safely, and respond to evolving conditions with poise and precision. This contract opportunity starts January 26, 2026, with assignments structured in weeks to provide flexibility for your career path while maintaining a rigorous standard of clinical excellence. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay between 2,300 and 2,488 dollars, with extension opportunities and role variety that keep your practice fresh and challenging. Beyond the bedside, you’ll be supported by a team that values your growth and well-being, so you can stay focused on delivering high-quality care in a fast-paced environment. Plattsburgh is more than a base of operations; it’s a community enriched by the beauty of upstate New York, where summer sunsets over Lake Champlain give way to snowy winters and the Adirondack sky. From scenic trails and boating to cultural festivals and tight-knit neighborhoods, you’ll find a lifestyle that complements your professional ambitions. If you’re drawn to broader experiences, this role offers the chance to work across multiple U.S. locations while maintaining the core of your Med Surg Tele expertise—a model that expands your horizons while keeping you rooted in clinical excellence.

Location benefits extend well beyond the hospital walls. Plattsburgh offers a serene yet vibrant environment where the natural world becomes an extension of your daily routine: hike the Lake Champlain shoreline in spring, kayak calm waters in summer, savor autumn foliage along winding roads, and snowshoe or ski in winter. The region provides a balanced pace that nurtures focus during demanding shifts and invites recovery after challenging days. For those who crave broader experience, there’s the potential to rotate to other facilities across the United States, exposing you to a variety of patient populations, care models, and clinical challenges that sharpen your telemetry skills and elevate your professional profile. Upstate New York’s rich history, excellent schools, cultural offerings, and proximity to outdoor adventures create a backdrop that sustains motivation and personal well-being. Whether you’re seeking time with family by the lake, a quick weekend escape to Adirondack peaks, or connections with nearby communities, this setting supports a sustainable, fulfilling nursing career while keeping your clinical acumen at the forefront.

Role specifics and benefits center on the core duties of Med Surg Tele care while paving paths for growth. Your responsibilities include meticulous patient assessment, continuous telemetry monitoring, timely administration of medications, wound care, IV therapy, and coordinating complex care plans with physicians and the broader care team. You’ll participate in daily rounds, develop and revise care plans based on evolving data, and lead discharge planning to ensure safe patient transitions home or to the next level of care. Telemetry adds an essential layer, requiring careful rhythm interpretation and rapid response to arrhythmias, hypoxia, or hemodynamic changes. The role also emphasizes evidence-based practice, with opportunities to pursue specialty certification, participate in unit-based quality improvement initiatives, and assume mentorship or charge-level responsibilities as you demonstrate readiness. You’ll find robust support to advance professionally: competitive compensation with a sign-on-type bonus or completion incentive, housing assistance to ease relocation, and clear extension opportunities that align with your career goals. The organization prioritizes a culture of learning, with structured onboarding, ongoing education, and access to clinical leadership coaching. A dedicated, 24/7 support system accompanies traveling nurses, ensuring you have real-time assistance, rapid problem-solving, and a safety net no matter where your assignment takes you. This combination of clinical challenge, growth potential, and practical backing creates a nurturing environment where your skills are recognized and your career trajectory can ascend.

The company values are anchored in empowering staff, fostering a culture of collaboration, and committing to your professional advancement. You’ll join a community that trusts in your expertise, celebrates clinical excellence, and supports a healthy work-life balance as you navigate diverse placements. The emphasis on mentorship, constructive feedback, and leadership development reinforces a work climate where clinicians feel valued, heard, and inspired to reach their highest potential. You’ll have access to resources that promote continuous learning, opportunities to engage in interprofessional teams, and pathways that translate experience into recognized credentials and expanded scope of practice.
